Billie Holiday

All or nothing at all

 

All or nothin' at all 

 Half a love never appealed to me
If your heart, it never could yield to me
Then I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all

I said all, nothin' at all
If it's love, there ain't no in-between
Why begin then cry for somethin' that might have been
No I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all
But, please don't bring your lips close to my cheek
Don't you smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart, it may grow very dizzy and fall

And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, be caught in the undertow
so, you see, I've got to say "No, no, no"
All or nothin' at all

And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call
Don't you know I would be caught in the undertow

 So, you see, I just got to say "No, no"
All or nothin' at all
All or nothin' at all
