I spent my whole life trying to make
|
A little feel big enough
|
A drop here a touch there
|
Trying to make it all add up to love
|
|
You can't jump in the water
|
With one foot out and one foot in
|
I think I'd rather just be alone
|
Than to try and love that way again
|
|
I don't want just a corner
|
I don't want just a piece
|
Don't want a little taste
|
I don't want a little peek
|
|
Half way or half of
|
Is just not good enough for me
|
Oh, I want the whole thing
|
Yeah, I want the whole thing
|
|
So if you got something that you wanna say
|
Well, baby, this would be the time
|
Are we or aren't brave enough
|
Brave enough to lay it all on the line
|
|
Anytime you gamble
|
There's a chance you might get hurt
|
Or you might just find
|
That forever kind of love
|
That we both deserve
|
|
I don't want just a corner
|
I don't want just a piece
|
Don't want a little taste
|
No, I don't want a little peek
|
|
Well, half way or half of
|
Is just not good enough for me, no
|
I want the whole thing
|
Yeah, I want the whole thing
|
Yeah
|
|
One more crumb
|
That won't fill me up
|
One more sip
|
That won't fill my cup
|
|
Don't ask me for another night
|
'Cause, baby I can't
|
I'm tired of calling cabs in the morning light
|
With my high heels in my hands
|
|
I want the whole thing
|
Yeah, I want the whole thing
|
I need the whole thing
|
Yeah, I want the whole thing
|
