[Verse 1]
When I think about the messes I've made
Think about the rest of my days
I wonder if you'll stick with me or walk away
I think about all of my faults
Will you love me just because?
Do you believe that we could last forever, babe?

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't we go all the way? (All the way)
All the way (All the way)
All the way
I hope we go all the way (All the way)
I hope you do too

[Chorus]
I do, I do, I do, I do (Yeah)
I hope you do too
Oh, I hope you do too (Oh, I wonder if you)
I do, I do, I do, I do (Ayy)
I hope you do too
Ooh, I hope you do too

[Verse 2]
When I think about every time (Time)
That your eyes light up like mine (Mine)
I know I want that feeling every single night
Am I crazy to think that you
Could ever want it as bad as I do?
I need it more than you could ever realize

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't we go all the way? (Why don't we go all the way?)
All the way (All the way)
All the way
I hope we go all the way (All the way)
I hope you do too

[Chorus]
I do, I do, I do, I do (I do)
I hope you do too (Oh, I hope you do too)
I hope you do too (Woah, oh, oh, ah)
I do, I do, I do, I do (I do)
I hope you do too (I hope you do)
I hope you do too (I hope you do too)

[Bridge]
Do you, do you, do you?
'Cause I do, I do, I do
Do you, do you, do you?
'Cause I do, I do, I do

[Chorus]
I do, I do, I do, I do (Oh, oh)
I hope you do too
I hope you do too (Oh, I've been wonderin' if you)
I do, I do, I do, I do
I hope you do too
I hope you do too

[Outro]
Why don't we go all the way? (Why don't we go all the way?)
All the way (All the way)
All the way
I hope we go all the way (All the way)
I hope you do too, ooh

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
