All of Me

    Artist: John Legend

    What would I do without your smart mouth

    Drawing me in, and you kicking me out

    Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down

    What’s going on in that beautiful mind

    I’m on your magical mystery ride

    And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

    My head’s underwater

    But I’m breathing fine

    You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

    Cause all of me loves all of you

    Love your curves and all your edges

    All your perfect imperfections

    Give your all to me

    I’ll give my all to you

    You’re my end and my beginning

    Even when I lose I’m winning

    Cause I give you all of me

    And you give me all of you

    How many times do I have to tell you

    Even when you’re crying, you’re beautiful too

    The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move

    You’re my downfall, you’re my muse

    My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

    Can’t stop singing, this ringing in my head for you

    ...

    Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts

    Risking it all, though it’s hard

    ...

    Background

    The song is one of the more straightforward tracks on Legend’s latest album “Love in the Future.” When he first sang it to his fiancée Chrissy Teigen, she cried. No doubt, stripped-back piano ballads are the best the singer can offer. What’s more, that he manages to pull off lines like “What’s going on in that beautiful mind/ I’m on your magical mystery ride,” with soothing sophistication is a testament to his rich and textured vocals.
