ALL OR NOTHIN' AT ALL

Said you'd give me just a little kiss
And you'd rock me for a little while
Well you'd slip me just a piece of it
Listen up little child
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all

Said you'd take me for a little dance
If you had a little time on your hands
Well all I do is push and shove
Just to get a little piece of your love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all

Well now I don't wanna be greedy
But when it comes to love there ain't no doubt
You just ain't gonna get what you want
With one foot in and one foot out
You got to give it all or nothin' at all
All or nothin' at all

Now I only got a little time
So if you're gonna change your mind
Then shout out what you're thinking of
If what you're thinkin' of is love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all

Liner notes from the One Step Up / Two Steps Back: The Songs Of Bruce Springsteen tribute booklet:

I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, so I'm glad to be able to participate on this album. He's one of the nicest people that I've ever met in the music business and, in my opinion, one of the best songwriters alive. "Streets Of Philadelphia," "Candy's Room" and "Tougher Than The Rest" are just three from my long list of Great Ones by Bruce.

The song that I've recorded for this album features two and only two chords: the "I" and the "IV" (like "Born In The U.S.A."), and a borrowed Frank Sinatra song title (like "Dancing In The Dark").
