  • 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
