Milli Vanilli

About All or Nothing

"All or Nothing" is a song by German dance-pop group Milli Vanilli. It was released in January 1990 and was their final top 10 single, peaking at number 4 in the United States. This was their final single before the lip syncing scandal. In December 1990, singer-songwriter David Clayton-Thomas sued Milli Vanilli for copyright infringement, alleging that "All of Nothing" used the melody from his 1968 song "Spinning Wheel", a hit for his group Blood, Sweat & Tears.

All or nothing... push
All or nothing... Girl let it be

Night after night it starts the same
Talking with my baby on lovers lane
You're real sweet and all a glow
Turn me on and then you're ready to go
I ask her, baby can I walk you home
She says okay I hate to be alone
I'm dreaming, you're smiling
You're my girl
My fantasy in this world
Nothing is wrong with being in love
It's a wonderful feeling from heaven above
Squeeze me
Please me
Turn me on
I love you so much
You can never go wrong
I like your smile
I like your touch
All or nothing
'Cos I want you so much
I'm longing for your tender kiss
Baby I wanna tell you this :

All or nothing... push
It's got to be
Something's gotta show
When you're living under heat
All or nothing... push
Girl let it be
Take it from a pro
Who's rocking to the beat

I'm under heat oh baby
Please take it slow
Give me some time and maybe
Our love will grow

I wanna suit you baby
And make it right
Take it from me babe
I wanna rock all night

If it's good for me
It's good for you, you gotta
Never let your mood get dry
Just keep it wet and my 740 jet
Is pushing right on high
You're the girl of my dream
You're making me hot
You're looking good
You're too ot to trot
I wanna be with you through all the hours and shower you with all my
flowers
I like your smile
I like your touch
All or nothing
'Cos I want you so much

I'm longing for your tender kiss
Baby I wanna tell you this :

All or nothing... push
It's got to be
Something's gotta show
When you're living under heat
All or nothing... push
Girl let it be
Take it from a pro
Who's rocking to the beat

I'm under heat oh baby
Please take it slow
Give me some time and maybe
Our love will grow

I wanna suit you baby
And make it right
Take it from me babe
I wanna rock all night

All or nothing... push
It's got to be
Something's gotta show
When you're living under heat
All or nothing... push
Girl let it be
Take it from a pro
Who's rocking to the beat

Milli Vanilli

Milli Vanilli was a pop and dance project created by Frank Farian in Munich, Germany, in 1988. The group was formed with Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. The group's debut album Girl You Know It's True achieved international success and earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on February 21, 1990. Milli Vanilli became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, their success turned to infamy when their Grammy was revoked after it was revealed by Chuck Philips of the LA Times that the lead vocals on the record were not the actual voices of Morvan and Pilatus. more »
