YOU TOOK THE PART THAT ONCE WAS MY HEART

All of me  (lyrics)

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 lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye 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?

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 lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye 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.
