Carolyn Dawn Johnson

The Whole Thing

I spent my whole life trying to make

A little feel big enough

A drop here a touch there

Trying to make it all add up to love

You can't jump in the water

With one foot out and one foot in

I think I'd rather just be alone

Than to try and love that way again

I don't want just a corner

I don't want just a piece

Don't want a little taste

I don't want a little peek

Half way or half of

Is just not good enough for me

Oh, I want the whole thing

Yeah, I want the whole thing

So if you got something that you wanna say

Well, baby, this would be the time

Are we or aren't brave enough

Brave enough to lay it all on the line

Anytime you gamble

There's a chance you might get hurt

Or you might just find

That forever kind of love

That we both deserve

I don't want just a corner

I don't want just a piece

Don't want a little taste

No, I don't want a little peek

Well, half way or half of

Is just not good enough for me, no

I want the whole thing

Yeah, I want the whole thing

Yeah

One more crumb

That won't fill me up

One more sip

That won't fill my cup

Don't ask me for another night

'Cause, baby I can't

I'm tired of calling cabs in the morning light

With my high heels in my hands

I want the whole thing

Yeah, I want the whole thing

I need the whole thing

Yeah, I want the whole thing
