  • 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

    Do 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1966 {August 26th} the Small Faces performed "All or Nothing" the British ITV network television program, 'Ready Steady Go!'...
    At the time the song was at position #9 on the United Kingdom's Official Top 50 Singles chart, three weeks later it would peak at #1 {for 1 week} and it spent twelve weeks on the Top 50 chart...
    Between 1965 and 1976 the London-based quartet had fourteen records on the Top 50 Singles chart, seven made the Top 10 with one* reaching #1, the above "All or Nothing"...
    * They just missed having a second #1 record when their "Lazy Sunday" peaked at #2 {for 1 week} in 1968, the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and their fourteenth and final Top 50 record was a re-release of "Lazy Sunday" in 1976, for it's second time around it reached #39...
