Can’t hold this love in To do that is sin Can’t keep it inside There’s no place for pride Cause all that I see Is you here with me Whatever it takes I’ll win at these stakes So, here’s what I’ll do I’ll be all out for you Chorus All out for you It’s all I can do If you love me or not Here’s all I’ve got It’s all I can do Babe…I’m all out All out for you I know you can hurt Can treat me like dirt Might feel like the dead When you leave my bed I’m ready to bleed To fill every need It’s no way to live My all I must give So, here’s what I’ll do I’ll be all out for you Chorus All out for you It’s all I can do If you love me or not Here’s all I’ve got And it’s all I can do Babe, I’m all out…. All out for you Stripped till I’m bare My heart takes the dare Though it’s so insane I have to be plain I’ll hold nothing back Even under attack I’ll yield and I’ll plead Until I am freed To give you it all Man up to the call To be all out for you Yea, here’s what I’ll do Chorus All out for you It’s all I can do If you love me or not Here’s all I’ve got And it’s all I can do Babe, I’m all out I’m all out for you Babe I’m all out Yes, I’m all out for… you I attended a Bryan Adams concert last night which rocked my world. I simply adore him as a singer, performer, humanitarian, and animal rights activist. Yes, he is vegan! :) I will blog about my experience a little later, but these words came to me today as I was thinking about it, and I wrote it as though it were Bryan writing the lyrics. I know they are very simple...but I can just imagine his gravely voice belting out this melody. If only....if only.... Eileen Manassian

If only if only. I KNOW that feeling so well, dear. That one poem of mine made into song, Honeymoon Serenade, my big dream is to have a famous person sing it. This is very lyrical. Can you imagine Bryan singing it? Is he as cute as ever? Lucky you to see him in concert.

I heard it, and it was done very well, dear. :) Can I imagine him singing it...YES! I tried singing it in his gravely voice and my brother had a good laugh. Yes, he is cute, talented, and gracious. The concert blew my mind! Hugs, dear

Well done, Eileen! That is how song lyrics should be, simple and clear, with a catchy refrain which keeps coming to mind even when you're not aware of it. ~ Lucky you watching Bryan Adams in concert!! Hugs // paul

Dear collaborator....I trust your judgement as I know you've written lyrics for songs that have seen the light of day. If there is anything I can do to improve...PLEASE...let me know. Missing you and Malta. It was around this time that I was falling in love with your paradise home. Hugs

Wonderful lyrical poem, Eileen. I'm an obscure, unknown songwriter. I know good lyrics when I see them. Your lyrics are so cool for a song. I agree w/John, simple lyrics are the best emotionally effective way to reach into the listener's heart. Love this poem. A 7 for you, dear. Love and hugs always.

Your affirmation means a great deal to me, dear. Loved your last piece. It was so serene. I'll keep trying.....hopefully one day my song will see the light of day.

Your romantic sonnets feed the soul, Frederic. :) Thank you for visiting this simple write. I want to be able to better my lyric writing skills. I guess it comes with practice. Blessings.

I can imagine there is no way for him to meet the demands of such a large fan base. If he met you he would hav adored you.

Thanks, Richard. You're right. He can't meet all the demands. I just wish there were a way to tell him what his music means to me. Thanks for that ending sentence. It eases the disappointment. Hugs

Perfect lyrics for a Bryan Adams song! I saw him in concert years ago. It was just an afternoon lawn concert but amazing just the same. I've loved him since I first heard Cuts Like A Knife in junior high! :))

Hey sweetie....the energy he brings to a concert is electrifying. Some singers aren't as good live as they are in the recording studio. Bryan is AWESOME. :) He's my favorite singer. It was definitely a highlight for me. Thanks for the visit. Hugs

Hello, dear Eve. :) Yes, it was an unforgettable experience for me. You should consider attending one soon. Nothing like it. Hugs

The words are descriptive and float their message onto the page with a steady hand and a splash of wisdom that captures the reader's imagination and attention. Well chosen words come alive in the reading and we cannot suppress a gasp at the descriptive narration. Very well penned with emotions that wrap themselves around your words evoking feelings that pulls at the reader's heart and soul. Emile.

You are a very thoughtful poet, Emile. Thanks for the in-depth comment on this poem. Even if it never goes anywhere except here, comments like yours bring me satisfaction. Hugs

- Beautiful lyrics, dear Eileen - Negative response from Bryan Adams, do not worry ... I love it :) - Lovely weekend - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Not a negative response, Sunshine. He...or whoever checks his mail...wished me good luck with my poetry. That was the second response. The first was just a "thanks". I was a little crushed, but...I should have known better. Anyway....thank you for the visit. Hugs, dear one.

Nothing wrong with your lyrics my little Desert Orchid, not surprised you received a generic reply, these singers have thousands sent to them by would-be songwriters. They are far more interested in getting good tunes. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the concert and look forward to reading your blog. Take care, Richard

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/18/2017 9:56:00 PM

Thank you, Richard. I know I was hoping for too much, but...one can dream. I did enjoy the concert. It passed my expectations, and it was good to spend time with my brother. He and I share a love for music that bonds us. Take care

That would be cool if he did. The lyrics are worthy of a master performer like him. I'm glad you enjoyed the concert Eileen.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/14/2017 12:45:00 PM

I'm heartbroken, Richard. I messaged him....got a generic reply. What did I expect? After all...it is BRYAN ADAMS. Still....it hurts. I'm glad you liked my little song. Thanks, Richard. Hugs

One can never know unless you send to him...hope you had a good time

Thanks, Tim. I want to fine tune it before I do...and would he even take the time to read....who knows! One can only dream. The concert had me in tears of euphoria. To finally have a dream come true....I connect with his music on such a deep level. Yes...I had a great time!

You're too kind, sweetie. Thanks! It would be such an achievement if I could write the words to a song that would live on after me....Sending hugs. Will visit soon.

Great lyrics Eileen, simple lyrics are the best, worked for Lennon and McCartney. Why not classify this as lyric instead of rhyme, that's what it is. a7

Thanks for the heads up, John. I'll go back to the categories and make the change. Yes...it's simple. Part of it is a bit cliche, but lyric writing hasn't been easy for me. It's my next challenge in writing...small steps. :) Thanks for the visit.
