Intro
Mm, yeah Tell me what you got
Verse 1
I don't need the diamonds or the fancy cars I don't need the spotlight or the velvet bars Just someone who shows up when the night goes wrong Someone who still stays when the feeling's gone
Pre-Chorus
I've been waitin' on a man who's more than words Somebody real, not just pretty, not just heard Come on
Chorus
All I need, all I need is you to mean it All I need, all I need, baby can you feel it All I need, all I need, don't make me beg All I need is you to stand here (stand right here)
Verse 2
She's been burned by the ones who talked too smooth Every promise made at midnight turned to moved Now she's guardin' every door before it's open wide But I been knockin' every day just to get inside
Pre-Chorus
I've been waitin' on a man who's more than words Somebody real, not just pretty, not just heard Come on
Chorus
All I need, all I need is you to mean it All I need, all I need, baby can you feel it All I need, all I need, don't make me beg All I need is you to stand here
Bridge
I stopped askin' nice about a year ago I stopped explainin' what I need for you to know Either you see me or you don't, it's black and white I'm done settlin' for almost every night
Chorus
All I need, all I need is you to mean it All I need, all I need, baby can you feel it All I need, all I need, don't make me beg All I need is you to stand here (stand right here)
Outro
All I need Is you Mm
Le sens derrière le texte
Le sens derrière le texte, par Jenny
Premier titre entièrement écrit et chanté en anglais — une manière d'ouvrir la fenêtre sur un public plus large, sans rien perdre de l'univers pop-RnB qui me définit. « All I Need », c'est le morceau le plus direct que j'aie fait : pas de mise en scène, pas de calcul, juste l'envie simple qu'on te choisisse pour de vrai, sans jeu.
L'écriture à deux voix — la mienne et celle d'un MC qui raconte l'autre côté de l'histoire — vient appuyer cette idée : ce n'est jamais à sens unique. Il faut se montrer digne de ce qu'on demande.
