ALL OF ME LYRICS

Gerald Marks and Seymor Simmons wrote this one and it was a #1 chart topping hit for both Louis Armstrong and the Paul Whiteman Orchestra in 1932. Among the hundreds of renditions of the tune over the year, two, one by Benny Carter and one by Billie Holiday, stand out. 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 loose 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 loose 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 –
