All Er Nothin'

Dinah Washington · Other Songs - Dinah Washington

All or nothing at all

Half-love never appealed to me

If your heart never could yield to me

Then I'd rather have nothing at all



All or nothing at all

If it's love, there is no in-between

Why begin then cry for something that might have been?

No, I'd rather have nothing at all



But, please, don't bring your lips so close to my cheek

Don't 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 dizzy and fall



And if I fell under the spell of your call

I would be caught in the undertow

So, you see, I've got to say

No, no, no, all or nothing at all
