  • All or nothing at all
    Half a love never appealed to me
    If your heart, never could yield to me
    Then I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all

    All, or nothing at all
    If it's love, there ain't no in-between
    Why begin, then cry for somethin' that might have been?
    No, I'd rather, rather have nothing at all

    Oh, please don't bring your lips close to my cheek
    Don't you 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 grow very dizzy and fall

    And if I fell under the spell of your call
    I would be caught in the undertow
    And so you see, I've got to say no, no
    All or nothing at all

    All or nothing at all Writer/s: Arthur Altman, Jack Lawrence

  • Dan from Houston, TxThe "All or Nothing at All" that Al Jarreau was written by Bobby Caldwell, is a great song in its own right, and should be acknowledged on this page, or have its own page.
