All Or Nothing
Ten and Two Lyrics

I thought you'd listen to my reason
I believed that you were capable of understanding my point of view.

But now I see you don't hear a thing
I've realized that you're not actually listening to me.

Got to make you see how it's got to be
I need to help you understand what needs to happen.

Yes if it's all right
Assuming you're okay with it.

All or nothing yeah yeah
The situation requires a complete commitment from both sides.

All or nothing
We can't settle for anything less than a total commitment.

All or nothing for me
I want everything or nothing at all.

Things could work out just like I want them to
There is potential for things to go exactly as I hope.

If I could have the other half of you
If only I could have your entire attention.

That's all I would if I only could
I only want what's actually possible, no more and no less.

Is to say
All I need to do is communicate.

Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
No specific meaning, just ad-lib scatting.

I ain't telling you no lie girl
I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth.

So don't just sit there and cry girl
Please don't just be upset, let's talk about it.

All or nothing (oh no)
This requires complete commitment or it won't work, no in-between.

All or nothing (oh yeah)
Fully committing to each other is the only way forward.

All or nothing (gotta gotta gotta keep on tryin')
We have to keep pushing to make this work, regardless of the difficulty.

All or nothing
Absolute and total commitment is non-negotiable.

(For me, for me, for me we're not children)
We're both grown adults capable of handling serious, committed relationships.
