All of me
Why not take all of me
Can’t you see
I’m no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I’ll never use them

Your good-bye

Left me with eyes that cry
How can I

Go on dear without you
You took the part

That once was my heart
So why not take

All of me?

(bridge)

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can’t you see
I’m no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I’ll never use them

Your good-bye

Left me with eyes that cry
How can I

Go on dear without you
You took the best
So why not take the rest
Baby, take all of me
