unknown

I was 17 and i thought you were one in a million
I never dreamed anyone (would) ever take you away
And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union
But i never thought i'd live to regret that day

* you put a scar on my heart i can't cover up and hide
I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside
** under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms

Every night you go out tell me its with a friend
You come back late know you've seen him again
And at 29 i realize the dreaming has to end
Although i've lost your love still the ghost remains

* repeat
** repeat
Oh yeah,

(instrumental break ) ** repeat 2.75 more times

---?? (can't figure out the first line)

Rolling in pain, wish i was a babe, i'll be again
I'll be a good boy i wish i could
Lord please have mercy misunderstood
Cold turkey has got me on the run

Sent me to the right man, fever is high,

Wish i was a babe, i'd kiss the sky,
I'll be a good boy, i wish i could,

Lord please have mercy, misunderstood
Cold turkey, has got me on the run on the run babe, on the run

(relentless duet)

??? writhing, fever is high,
Wish i was a baby, wish i could die
I'd be a good boy, i wish i could,
Lord please have mercy, misunderstood
Cold turkey has got me . . . on the run

I thought you'd listen to my reasoning
But now i see, you don't hear a thing
Tried to make you see how it's gotta be
Well it's allright

*chorus: all or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me

Things could work out just like i want them to, yeah
If i could have the other half of you
Yes you know i would if i only could
I said it's allright

Chorus (instrumental)

I ain't telling no lies, so don't you sit there and cry, mama yeah

All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me, for me, for me,
All or nothing, need it, all or nothing, all or nothing, i gotta, i gotta, keep on
All or nothing, i need it so bad, all or nothing, i want it right now,
All or nothing for me, for me, for me, c'mon
All or nothing, gotta have it now, all or nothing, i need it so bad
All or nothing, for me, for me, for me,
All or nothing, gotta gotta, all or nothing, need it so bad,
All or nothing, for me, for me, for me come on
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, i gotta i gotta for me
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for meeeeeeeee

(all right, ooh uh, oof, mmm, jesus i wish i hadn't worn these tight trousers!)

Downtown, drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engine, she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you'd better hold on tight

I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, ooh but she brings me on

She's a right runner, real mean mother too
I can't wait to see her break in front of you
Making a movie star upon the screen
If daddy's looking, you come on like a queen

I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, but she brings me on

-(instrumental)

Downtown drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engines she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you better hold on tight

I'm going back, back, i'm going back, yeah
I'm going back baby, i'm going back, yeah
I'm going back, back to the usa

Hello, mary, did you get back today
Just got in, in from the usa
I'm a going back, back to the usa

She's my little baby gonna rock and roll with her
Just the way she love me i really got it hot for her
I'm a going back, back to the usa

(instrumental)

Little baby gonna rock and roll with her
Just the way she love i really got it hot for her
I'm a going back back to the usa

Hello, mary, did you get back today
Just got in, in from the usa
I'm a going back, back to the usa

(more instrumental)

I'm going back back i'm going back baby i'm going back
I'm a going back i'm going back, back to the usa

Back back back, back yeah, i'm a going back
Well i'm going back i'm a going back, back to the usa
Back back back, i'm a going back, i'm a going back,
Well i'm going back, i'm a going back, back to the usa

(another long instrumental out to the end...)

I got your number right off the wall
Bristol 285 wont you give me a call
Well i was 15 thought i was hot
I didn't know if you'd see me or not
And that night as we stepped out
We were hand in hand
But my friends all seemed to know you
I couldn't understand

That everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game

You seemed so shy so all alone-y
Without any hint of ever being phony
But then the little things that came to light
Like the strange hours you worked late at night
And as we laid in your bed that night
You made me feel like a king
Then as i looked into your eyes
I heard that telephone ring

And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
But nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
Oh no, they don't want to know your game again

(instrumental)

And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
Nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game

And everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game

(instrumental to the end...)
