Meat Loaf — All of Me
I caught a glimpse of myself today
Wasn’t a pretty picture, I must say
Well, I threw a dagger of poison words straight for my heart
Was it deserved?
Well, it’s too late to make up some excuse and say it wasn’t me
Well, what’s the use?
Oh, you’ve seen too much
Ooh, let me introduce you to
This is my anger
This is my shame
These are my insecurities, that I can’t explain
This is my fortress, crumbling ‘round my feet
Take a good look, baby: this is all of me
They found that nerve deep in my soul
Poised and ready to explode
And no one else on earth but you could get close enough
To light that fuse
And you crawled up underneath my skin
Crept now through my veins and through my head
Ooh, you got so deep
You might as well get to know the rest of me
This is my anger
This is my shame
These are my insecurities, that I can’t explain
This is my fortress, crumbling ‘round my feet
Take a good look, baby: this is all of me
We all live under the same roof
We go by the same name
It saddens me to think that I cannot turn back the hands of time
This is my anger
This is my shame
These are my insecurities, that I can’t explain
This is my fortress, crumbling ‘round my feet
Take a good look, baby—
This is my anger
These are my doubts
These are my emotions, all strung out
This is my fortress, crumbling ‘round my feet
Take a good look baby: this is all—this is all of me
This is all of me
Oh, this is all of me
This is all of me....
