[Verse]
Said you'd give me just a little kiss
And you'd rock me for a little while
Well you'd slip me just a piece of it
Well, listen up, little child

[Chorus]
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all

[Verse]
Said you'd take me for a little dance
If you had a little time on your hands
Well all I do is push and shove
Just to get a little piece of your love

[Chorus]
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all

[Bridge]
Well now, I don't wanna be greedy
But when it comes to love, there ain't no doubt
You just ain't gonna get what you want
With one foot in bed and one foot out

[Chorus]
You got to give it all or nothin' at all
Hey yeah, all or nothin' at all

[Verse]
Now I only got a little time
So if you're gonna change your mind
Then shout out what you're thinkin of
If what you're thinkin' of is love

[Chorus]
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want to have it all or nothin at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want to give it all or nothin at all

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
