All Or Nothing All : Lyric Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


All Or Nothing All

by Paul McCann

 

The question is who at the end of the day are you anyway to me .

oh darlin can’t you see what you mean to me ‘

its either all or nothing at all ,

its either all or nothing for its been once too often

that you’ve taken the best of me .

 

Nothing was all that you gave to me

and there’s so much more I  can  add .

 

You walked away and abandoned me

and you took everything that I had .

I gave you my love and I gave you my name

for it was all or nothing at all  .

 

Walking the streets like a man insane .

I fell down once and got up again .

When love lifted me from all my pain ,

 I realized the person  you became   .

 

The question is where are we going today

on a one way street going down .

Would  you knock me off my feet

if  ever we should meet

or would you rather I wasn’t around .

 

If ever I should fall 

you might hear me call ,

Hey don’t worry its  nothing at all .

 

Walking the streets like a man insane .

I fell down once and got up again .

When love lifted me from all my pain ,

 I realized the person  you became   .

 

So the question is what were you doing

running around with every man in town ?

Hey babe don’t you know you can never let it go ,

its either all or nothing at all .

But you walked away instead

and now the love we had is dead

and now you mean nothing to me . 

  

When its all or nothing you’ve got to be committed

and fitted with the garments of love .

Walking through the storms together arm in arm  

protecting each other from all harm .

That’s how it should be when its all or nothing at all   .
