All Or Nothing
O-Town · O-Town [2001]
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older
You know I'd fight for you
But how can I fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
CHORUS
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call
You leave me here, with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I dont believe its right, I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
It's time to show and tell
CHORUS
Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
no room, inside, for me in your life
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall its now or never
(key change)
Is it all or nothing at all
Theres no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call
You leave me here, with nothing at all
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older
You know I'd fight for you
But how can I fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
CHORUS
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call
You leave me here, with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I dont believe its right, I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
