Lyrics Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday

All or Nothing at All

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 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 grow 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

All or nothing at all

Half 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 rather have nothing at all

So 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 grow 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

All or nothing at all
