All of me by John Legend
All of me
(autistic community version)
Hearing “I could do without your smart mouth”
What am I saying, why you knocking me down?
Got my head spinning, no kidding, can’t figure this out
You don’t know what’s going on in my mind
Or how much of me I’m having to hide
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, hope I’ll be all right
My blood’s in the water
And I’m bleeding out
Don’t call me crazy, or say I’m out of my mind
‘Cause I see all of me
Who is it you see
All your words with their spiky edges?
Saying everything I do has imperfections
I can give all of me
Why can’t you see
Is this the end or the beginning
Even when I’m right I’m not winning
‘Cause I can give all of me,
And why can’t you see, noooo
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when I’m lost I’m trying to get through
The world is beating me down, I’m getting bloody, broken down
Life is my downfall, life is my fuse
My worst nightmare, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop thinking, it’s ringing, in my head for days
My blood’s in the water
And I’m bleeding out
Don’t call me crazy, or say I’m out of my mind
‘Cause I see all of me
Who is it you see
All your words with their spiky edges?
Saying everything I do has imperfections
I can give all of me
Why can’t you see
Is this the end or the beginning
Even when I’m right I’m not winning
‘Cause I can give all of me
And you can’t see, nooo
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, I’m showing, showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard
‘Cause I see all of me
Who is it you see
All your words with their spiky edges?
Saying everything I do has imperfections
I can give all of me
Why can’t you see
Is this the end or the beginning
Even when I’m right I’m not winning
‘Cause I can give all of me,
And why can’t you see,
I give you all,
And who is it you see? Ooohh
All my best and love

I love the original and thought the beauty of this song balanced out the lyrics perfectly.
