You know the game of love, so the flame never burns you

No passion concerns you, no violins play

But me, I lose control of my heart when I'm near you

That's why I fear you and turn away

I need a love that's true, I wish it could be you

I know it should be you and so I say



All or nothing at all

Half a 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 go 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"

All or nothing at all
