All The Man That I Need Lyrics

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same


Chorus:
He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got,
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need


And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close and won't let go
He won't let go


chorus

instrumental

Very few people realize that this song is actually about God. Read closely. "He gives me love... more love than I've ever seen...He's all I've got in this world, but he's all the man that I need"

Anyway, it's probably Whitney's best song, with powerful, right-in-tune vocals, and beautiful arrangement.

@Iantuition First time I heard this I thought the same. It made me think of Jesus/God if having a tough time and needing help out of it all.

It's interesting that a lot of people at the time didn't realize what or "who" this song was about. I guess it depends on where you are spiritually...I believe it is about the creator, Jehovah, Yahweh, or whatever name you give to God
