All Or Nothing
Ryan & Sharpay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make 'em like them my best friend
Telling their lies
And they can scheme behind my back
Make fiction not a fact
Try to re-write my life
But they ain't got a clue
I'd shut right up
Take me as I am
Or not at all
I ain't ever gonna change myself for no one
No compromise
'Cause it's my life
It's all or nothing.
They can laugh all they like
Got no need to justify
I am who I am
And they can do their worst if they dare
If it makes them happy we don't care
It's out of their hands
'Cause they ain't got a clue
If we were in their shoes
We'd shut right up
Take us as we are
Or not at all
We ain't ever gonna change ourselves for no one
No comprosmise 'cause it's our life
It's all or nothing.
Take me as I am
Or not at all
I ain't ever gonna change myself for no one
Not compromise 'cause it's my life
It's all or nothing.

It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before, I finally found
What I've been looking for
So good to be seen
So good to be heard
Don't have to say a word
For so long I was lost
So good to be found
I love having you around
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before, I finally found
What I've been looking for

@pao1246
they made us hate sharpay and ryan when they're the only ones that showed the effort, responsibility and preparation for theater, ffs they had a pretty choreo ready for the audition
@surai8766
in my opinion, everyone put in a good amount of effort and responsibility. i think they wanted us to “hate” them because they were a little stuck up and selfish yk?
