I truly hope that when I meet you, I can be free to fall in love with you. I'm tired of those one-sided wonderings, where I begin to notice someone and try to figure out if he might ever notice me. No more of that for me. I'm resolved to keep my nose to the grindstone until you, and only you, come along.
I am in no mood for those casual dating relationships where there is no goal in mind. Frankly, I think it's foolish to spend time with someone and just "hang around" together without intentionality. I feel like shaking some girls and shouting at them, "Do you really think he is marriage material? No? Well then, cut that out!!"
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'd 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 and 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.
And so you see, I've got to say no, no!
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'd 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 and 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.
And so you see, I've got to say no, no!
All or nothing at all!
Jack Lawrence (lyrics) & Arthur Altman (music), 1939
