Girl you're every woman in the world to me.

This sentence is a part of lyrics of a song 'Every Woman In The World' by Air Supply.

(You can find full lyrics here.)

I roughly know the meaning of the sentence, "I LOVE YOU",

but I want to know about its meaning more specifically. Does it mean

  • you are the only woman in the world that I care about:

or does it mean literally:

  • you have so many attractive attributes and characters thereby I experience every woman through you?

Best Answer

The first suggestion comes nowhere near the realisation contained in the verse line. And, your alternative suggestion, (by prevaricating Dr. Johnson's remark about Samson Agonistis) has a good beginning but no grand ending. It failed to keep up the tone and mood.

What the lyricist wants to mean is that you are the embodiment of womanhood. Throuh you, I realise what it means to be a woman. In you, womanhood finds its consummation and fulfillment (mind and matter put together!). You are the representative figure of an ideal woman — Girl you're every woman in the world to me.
