Lyrics
All Or Nothing At All
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know the game of love, so the flame never burns you
No passion concerns you, no violins play
But me, I lose control of my heart when I'm near you
That's why I fear you and turn away
I need a love that's true, I wish it could be you
I know it should be you and so I say....
All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, I've got to say "No, No"
All or nothing at all
