All That I Got
Will.I.Am and Fergie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're seeing past my make-up
Into the little girl that used to hide out and cry
When her parents fought
Tryin' to be strong
You can see the hurt in me
The cover-ups so secretly
And all that I aspire to be
You know who I really am
No entourage or caravan
And do you even give a damn
About all that, tell me?
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
So, I don't mean to scare you now or push you away
Cause I'm not tryin' to rush anything
But when I look into your eyes
I'm not scared as you say I see little you
I'm in the picture too
Like a happy family tree
We're together constantly
This could be eventually
We'll see, we'll see
But all that I have got to know
Is with me, baby, will you grow?
Sun and rain and heavy snow
Oh, tell me so now, baby
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
It's as simple as one and two
I'm in love with you
And three and four
You're all I adore
To the seven and eight
See, I've been making mistakes
Cause when you're on my mind
I just can't think straight
Back to the five and six
I'm all in you mix, and I'm all into you
Without the lipstick
Without the L'Oreal
You remain the same angel that I fell for you
For real, for real
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
I'll give you all that I got
In these lyrics, the singer, most likely Justin Bieber, is revealing his vulnerability to his partner. He acknowledges that she sees past his exterior, past the cover-up of make-up and the strong facade he has to maintain. She sees the little boy who suffered when his parents fought. He’s asking her if she is willing to love him for who he is, even if he doesn’t work out or change his natural hair. He wants to know if she is ready for a future with him, growing old together as a happy family, through sunshine and rain, through heavy snow.
The singer is telling his partner that he’s fallen in love with her, and that he's made mistakes, but he is all in for her. He wants to know if she will love him even if he doesn’t work out or change his natural hair. He’s all into her, beyond the external, the lipstick, the L'Oreal. He just wants to know if she will love him, for him.
Overall, the song represents the vulnerability of an individual when it comes to love. The singer is opening up to his partner and asking her to do the same, to let love lead the way and appreciate each other for who they are, and not just for their external appearances.

Baby, baby, when you're looking deep in my eyes
When you gaze into my eyes, darling
I know you're seeing past my make-up
You see beyond the layer of cosmetics
Into the little girl that used to hide out and cry
You see the vulnerable child in me, who used to hide and weep
When her parents fought
During the fights of my parents
Tryin' to be strong
When I was struggling to be tough
You can see the hurt in me
You can sense the pain inside me
The cover-ups so secretly
Even the concealed things
And all that I aspire to be
My dreams and ambitions
You see, you see
You understand, you understand
You know who I really am
You know my true self
No entourage or caravan
Without any posse or entourage
And do you even give a damn
Do you really care
About all that, tell me?
About all this, please tell me?
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Would you still adore me if I didn't exercise
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
Or if I kept my hair natural without any alterations?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
Would you like to be with me forever, my dear
I'll give you all that I got
I promise to give you everything I can
So, I don't mean to scare you now or push you away
I hope I'm not frightening you or driving you away
Cause I'm not tryin' to rush anything
I'm not in a hurry
But when I look into your eyes
However, when I gaze into your eyes
I'm not scared as you say I see little you
I'm not afraid, as you think I am
I'm in the picture too
I'm also a part of the story
Like a happy family tree
Just like a joyous family tree
We're together constantly
We are united constantly
This could be eventually
Perhaps this could be our future
We'll see, we'll see
Time will tell, time will tell
But all that I have got to know
However, I need to know
Is with me, baby, will you grow?
Will you be with me, and grow with me?
Sun and rain and heavy snow
Through the bright and dark times
Oh, tell me so now, baby
Please tell me now, my love
It's as simple as one and two
It's really simple
I'm in love with you
I'm deeply in love with you
And three and four
As well as with all the little things you do
You're all I adore
You're my everything, my dear
To the seven and eight
When I'm not myself
See, I've been making mistakes
I've made mistakes, you see
Cause when you're on my mind
Because you're always on my mind
I just can't think straight
I'm lost in thoughts
Back to the five and six
Back to the present
I'm all in you mix, and I'm all into you
I'm all mixed up because of you, and I'm fully devoted to you
Without the lipstick
Without any make-up on
Without the L'Oreal
Without any brand names products
You remain the same angel that I fell for you
You're still the same angel I fell in love with
For real, for real
Seriously, I mean it
Would you love me if I didn't work out
Would you still love me if I didn't exercise
Or I didn't change my natural hair?
Or if I kept my hair natural without any alterations?
And I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby
Would you like to be with me forever, my dear
I'll give you all that I got
I promise to give you everything I can
