All Or Nothing Lyrics
I thought you'd listen to my reason
But now I see, you don't hear a thing
Try to make you see, how it's got to be
Yes it's all, all or nothing
Yeah yeah, All or nothing
All or nothing, for me
Things could work out just like I want them to, yeah
If I could have the other half of you, yeah
You know I would, If I only could
Yes it's yeah, all or nothing
Oh yeah, all or nothing
You'll hear my children say, all or nothing, for me
I didn't tell you no lies
So don't you sit there and cry girl
Yeah, all or nothing
Oh yeah, all or nothing
Oh yeah, all or nothing
D'you know what I mean
You got to, got to, go to keep on trying, yeah
All or nothing, mm yeah
All or nothing, to keep on working on to me
All or nothing for me, for me, for me
Come on children, yeah
All or nothing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All or nothing, I kept on singing to myself
All or nothing, yeah for me, yeah
But now I see, you don't hear a thing
Try to make you see, how it's got to be
Yeah yeah, All or nothing
All or nothing, for me
If I could have the other half of you, yeah
You know I would, If I only could
Oh yeah, all or nothing
You'll hear my children say, all or nothing, for me
So don't you sit there and cry girl
Yeah, all or nothing
Oh yeah, all or nothing
Oh yeah, all or nothing
D'you know what I mean
You got to, got to, go to keep on trying, yeah
All or nothing, mm yeah
All or nothing, to keep on working on to me
All or nothing for me, for me, for me
Come on children, yeah
All or nothing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All or nothing, I kept on singing to myself
All or nothing, yeah for me, yeah
written by Steve in a railway hotel in Leeds - this song is about, well, sex. Wanting to make it with his then girlfriend Susan
no comments yet? this is the best song of the 1960's!
I think it's about more than sex. I believe it was actually written for Jenny Rylance, his "girlfriend" who was flicking between him and Rod Stewart, and the nature of the song is "You have to love me, not be halfway between."
Interesting that although Steve wrote it, others werecredited as the songwriters when it was published.
