All For Me is an original song written by Valerie Brown and Archie Andrews.
After Cheryl asks Josie to let Archie sit in on rehearsals as a favor, the Pussycats practice for the Taste of Riverdale event. While struggling to write this song, with even genius lyricist Valerie having trouble, Archie makes a suggestion that is approved and even admired by Josie. While the Pussycats perform this song, Archie sneaks around throughout the building, as he is still grounded, so he can watch his song being performed.[1]
Lyrics[]
Josie (Melody and Valerie):
(Huh-ooh)
(How-ooh)
Paintings on her skin, colors in her hair (How-ooh)
Come around the corner make you stop and stare (How-ooh)
But she don't hit her mark 'cause she don't really care (How-ooh)
What you think about her, think about her (How-ooh)
(How-ooh)
Moving through the streets, she travels on her own (How-ooh)
'Cause she don't need nobody else to let her know (How-ooh)
How to go 'bout living or where she should (with Melody and Valerie: go) (How-ooh)
And if you try to tell her what to do she says
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's (with Melody and Valerie: all for me)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's (with Melody and Valerie: all for me)
Get a lot of people say they try to help (Valerie: Ooh)
But they don't know her story, they just try to sell
A cookie cutter recipe for living well
But they don't take the time to stop and listen
Covering her ears she pushes on alone
'Cause she don't need nobody else to let her know
How to go 'bout living or where she should go
And if you try to slow her down she'll scream
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's all for me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's all for me (How-ooh)
Josie with Melody and Valerie harmonizing:
They try to keep her down
But she won't stop for no man
They try to keep her down
Nothing can shake her
Nothing can shake her
Josie (Melody and Valerie):
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's (with Melody and Valerie: all for me)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't care what you want (with Melody and Valerie: me to be)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause it ain't for you
No, it's all for me
