Everything (Live 1998)

[Intro]
Now L.A., we gon' need y'all to throw your hands up in the air as far as you can and wave 'em from side to side
From side to side, 'cause we about to take y'all on another level
A whole different type of level
Let me see them hands tonight
Come on, throw 'em as high as you can from side to side
We're gonna take y'all on another level

My everything
You are my everything
You, my everything
Everything, everything, everything
L.A., sing!

[Verse 1]
It's all because of you (Say what?)
I'm never sad and blue (Uh-huh)
You've brightened up my days
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you I can depend

[Pre-Chorus]
You take me away from the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy days
You brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred to me
The first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love
That your love can't be replaced

[Chorus]
You are my everything (You're my everything)
Love so good, so good only you can bring
(Love so good, so good, so good, only you can bring)
You are my everything
Oh, you are everything, and everything is you

[Verse 2]
My darling, only you (Say what?)
Can make my dreams come true (Uh-huh)
And every night I pray
You'll never go away
I promise I will try
Until the day you die
To treat you like a king
'Cause you are my everything

[Bridge]
You take me away from the pain
And you bring me paradise
And when there were cloudy days
You brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred
Oh, it never, never occurred to me
I would fall so deep
That your love can't be replaced, oh you

[Chorus]
You are my everything (You're my everything)
Love so good, so good only you can bring
(Love so good, so good, so good, so good, only you can bring, yeah)
You are my everything
Oh, you are everything, and everything is you
You are everything, and everything is you
(See, everything is you)
You are everything, and everything is you
You are everything, and everything is you
You are everything, and everything is you

[Bridge]
When you're lovin' me
Put your lovin' arms around me
When you're lovin' me
Said I feel so safe, I find security
When you're lovin me
Forever I want you to hold me
My everything
My every every every everything

[Chorus]
You are my everything
Love so good, so good only you can bring
(Love so good, yeah, only you can bring, yeah)
You are my everything
Oh, you are everything, and everything is you

Oh, you take me away, and bring me paradise
When I am down, you bring sunshine in my life
Never occurred to me
You are everything, and everything is you
I would fall so deep, yeah
You are everything, and everything is you
You are everything, everything is you
You are everything, and everything is you

[Interlude]
L.A., I just wanna take this time to talk to y'all
For those of you out there in that audience tonight that might be a Mary J. Blige fan, this song is dedicated to you
I couldn't have done none of this without you
And I got something special for y'all tonight
I mean, it might be radio stations out there, DJ's
Thank y'all for bumpin' me in the clubs
Thank y'all for playing me on the radio
Thank y'all for supporting me
I got something for y'all, come on, y'all, come on now

[Outro]
Oh, oh, Oh, oh
Oh, oh, Oh, oh
Oh, oh, Oh, oh
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
You are my everything
See, you're my everything, see, you're my everything
Love so good, only you can bring
You're the reason why I sing
It's you and you, and you and you, and you and you
And all of you
You're my everything
And I play for you tonight, I would never be standing here
You're my everything, and everything is you
And I thank you, thank you, thank you
