All or Nothing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship
Gets older, older
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I'd fight for you
But how can I fight someone who isn't even there?
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
[Chorus]
'Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call?
You leave me here, with nothing at all
[Verse 2]
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart, but I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
There's times I don't believe it's right
I know it, know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make me promises
Baby, you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
It's time to show and tell
[Chorus]
'Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call?
You leave me here, with nothing
[Bridge]
'Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
Nowhere, inside, for me in your life
'Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
It's now or never
[Chorus]
Is it all or nothing at all?
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call?
You leave me here, with nothing at all
Or nothing at all?
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never
Is it all, or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends, with a simple telephone call?
You leave me here, with nothing at all
[Outro]

What did O-Town say about "All or Nothing"?
That song probably means more to us now than when it was No. 1, just because of the way it makes us feel and makes the fans feel when we perform it live. As soon as it starts, everyone screams. At the end, when everyone’s belting the chorus out, it’s the best moment of the show. The common thing we...
Did the group know there was something special about the chorus?
Absolutely, when we first heard it. Clive [Davis] was still trying to get to know us and where our sound was, at the same time what he thought we’d be successful doing, and he brought “Liquid Dreams” and “All or Nothing” to the table right away. And “Liquid Dreams,” we weren’t sure if we were on the...
What about the chorus caught the band's attention?
There’s certain songs that writers, like Adele, just say something so perfectly, and you’re like, “How come I couldn’t say that? It’s a simple line.” And that is what that song is, to say, “I want it all or nothing.” I think we’ve all said that in a relationship, or had that same feeling. And when s...
