Text  
I thought you'd listen to my reasoning; but now I see you don't hear a thing.
Try to make you see, how it's got to be. Yes it's all right.
a
All or nothing. All or nothing. All or nothing for me. b
Things could work out just like I want them to. If I could have the other half of you.
You know I would, if I only could. Yes, it's . . . .
c

I ain't takin' no lyin' so don't you sit there and cry.
