All I Need
Jack Wagner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Kissing you is not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
You're the only one I can think of
You're the only one I see

All I need

Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

Yes it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It may be a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
Cause it seems so hard to believe

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

No stars are out tonight
But we're shining our own light
And it's never felt so bright
Cause girl the way I'm feeling
It's easy to believe
That you're all I need

Ah

You're all I need
Oh ah


Overall Meaning

The song "All I Need" by Jack Wagner is about a moment of indecision and vulnerability as the singer grapples with his growing feelings for a new love interest. He expresses surprise at the unexpected development of this relationship, admitting that he wasn't initially looking for true love but found himself drawn to her nonetheless. Despite his uncertainty, he cannot deny that she is the only one he sees and thinks of. The chorus repeats the idea that he needs a little more time to sort through his emotions and be sure about how he feels, acknowledging that it's hard to believe that this person could be all he needs.


The second verse acknowledges that both parties have been hurt before in past relationships, but those experiences don't seem as relevant when it comes to this new connection. The lyrics suggest that taking a chance on this could lead to love, and the singer admits that he's not entirely sure what he's feeling but hopes that it is love. The song concludes with an evocative image of two people shining their own light together in the darkness, and the singer asserting that the way he feels about this person makes it easy to believe that they are all he needs.


Overall, the song is a relatable expression of the anxiety and excitement of falling in love, and the vulnerability of opening oneself up to that possibility.
