All or Nothing Lyrics by ​The Basics

Keep Your Friends Close

2009

[Refrain]
I'm in love with someone
Who just cannot love me back
With someone else who loves me
But deserves much more than that
There are no winners here
There are no winners here

[Verse 1]
All the time I've tried to write the words
That sum the whole thing up
But I never can quite get it right
And what I write just sucks
So here I go again, my friends
I guess this is my lot
To do my best and make lieu
Of what I do and do not want

[Chorus]
But it's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin' with you

[Refrain]
I'm in love with someone
Who just cannot love me back
With someone else who loves me
But deserves much more than that
There are no winners here
There are no winners here

[Verse 2]
Look, I love this song
But there's some stuff that's not good for your health
Songs that make me wanna cry
And wanna hurt myself
And it's funny how when you're feeling down
These songs are just for you
I guess that's what they like to call
The power of the blues

[Chorus]
But it's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin' with you

[Refrain]
I'm in love with someone
Who just cannot love me back
With someone else who loves me
But deserves much more than that
There are no winners here
There are no winners here

[Interlude]
*Humming*

[Verse 3]
So I live in a state of constant limbo
Waiting for a clue
For someone else to tell me
What it is that I should do
'Cause even though I know
This indecision can't go on
When it comes to breakin' hearts
I'd rather die than do the job

[Chorus]
But it's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin' with you

[Refrain]
I'm in love with someone
Who just cannot love me back
With someone else who loves me
But deserves much more than that
There are no winners here
There are no winners here

[Verse 4]
So there it is
My latest try at sorting out my head
But lookin' back
I'm not quite sure I know I just said
Still keep someone hangin' on
While I entertain the thought
Of bein' with another
Who I think is more my sort

[Chorus]
But it's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin'
It's all or nothin' with you

[Refrain]
I'm in love with someone
Who just cannot love me back
With someone else who loves me
But deserves much more than that
There are no winners here
There are no winners here
There are no winners here
There are no winners here
