All That I Got (The Make Up Song)
Fergie · The Dutchess [2006]
Baby, baby when you're looking deep in my eyes
I know you're seeing past my make-up
Into the little girl that used to hide out and cry
When her parents fought
Tryin' to be strong
[pre-chorus:]
You can see the hurt in me
The cover ups so secrecy
And all that I aspire to be
You see, you see
You know who I really am
No entourage or caravan
And do you even give a damn
About all that, now tell me
[chorus]
(Would you love me)
If I didn't work out or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be
(The one you want to) Grow older with, baby?
I'll give you all that I got
[Verse 2:]
So I don't mean to scare you now and push you away
'Cause I'm not tryin' to rush anything
But when I look into your eyes I'm not scared to you say
I see little you, I'm in the picture too
[pre-chorus:]
Like a happy family tree
We're together costantly
This could be eventually
We'll see, we'll see
But all that I have to know
Is with me baby will you grow?
Sun and rain and heavy snow
Oh tell me so now baby
[chorus] [x2]
(Would you love me)
If I didn't work out or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be
(The one you want to) Grow older with, baby?
I'll give you all that I got
[Bridge will.i.am:]
It's as simple as one and two
I'm in love with you
And three and four
You're all I adore
To the seven and eight
See I've been making mistakes
Cuz when you're on my mind
I just can't think straight
Back to the five and six
I'm all in you mix and I'm all into you
Without the lipstick
Without the L'Oreal
You remain the same angel that I fell for you
For real, for real
[chorus] [x5]
(Would you love me)
If I didn't work out or I didn't change my natural hair?
And I could be
(The one you want to) Grow older with, baby?
I'll give you all that I got
