"All of Me" — the complete surrender of the self.
Writer(s): simons
All of me - why not take (come on get) all of me
Cant you see - Im no good (just a mess) without you
Take my lips - I want to lose them
Take (get a piece of) my (these) arms - Ill never use them
Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cry
How can I - get along (ever make it) without you
(you know) you took (got) the part - that once was (used to be) my heart
So why not - why not take all of me

- Written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. "Take my lips, I want to lose them" — the total offering of the self in love. Sinatra recorded it multiple times; the 1954 Capitol version with Nelson Riddle swings with elegant restraint.
