There is NOTHING like some of the older tunes... The lyrics were plain and simple, but quite to the point.

All Or Nothing At All Lyrics
(A. Altman, J. Lawrence)

[Recorded May 16, 1966, Hollywood]



All or nothin' at all

Half a love never appealed to me

If your heart, it never could yield to me

Then I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all



I said all, nothin' 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 nothin' at all



Hey, 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, it may grow very dizzy and fall



And if I fell under the spell of your call

I would be, be caught in the undertow

Well, you see, I've got to say "No, no, no"

All or nothin' at all



[instrumental]



And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call

Don't you know I would be caught in the undertow?

So, you see, I just got to say "No, no"

All or nothin' at all



All or nothin' at all


SO WOULD YOU TAKE NOTHIN' OR BETTER TO HAVE SOMETHIN'?
