Everything I Own Lyrics

You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, kept me warmYou gave my life to me, set me free, you set me freeOf all the years I ever knew, those finer ones I spent with youI would give everything I own, give up my life, my heart, my homeI would give everything I own just to have you back againYou taught me how to cry, I don't know why, just don't know whyYou told those lies to me, you set me free, you set me freeOf all the years I ever knew, those finer ones I spent with youI would give everything I own, give up my life, my heart, my homeI would give everything I own just to have you back againJust to hold you once againIf there's someone you know that won't let you goAnd taking it all for grantedAnd they lose them one day, someone will take them awayAnd you don't hear a word they sayI would give everything I own, give up my life, my heart, my homeI would give everything I own just to have you back againJust to hold you once againI would give everything I own ....Once again

Meaning of Everything I Own

“Everything I Own” is a raw and heartbreaking plea for lost love, delivered with Boy George’s signature vulnerability. The song explores the devastating cost of devotion and the willingness to sacrifice absolutely everything – life, heart, home – simply to recapture a fleeting connection. It depicts a relationship where one person was nurtured and set free by another, yet ultimately trapped by those very affections. The repeated refrain, “I would give everything I own just to have you back again,” underscores the profound sense of loss and regret, highlighting a desperate yearning for a simple touch. Beyond the personal narrative, there's an underlying commentary on being taken advantage of and losing someone due to their own unwavering love, suggesting a cautionary tale about giving too much and receiving nothing in return.
