All or Nothing

Íèêîëàé Æäàíîâ-Ëóöåíêî
If you’re no longer going to be nice
And tension is the instrument you choose,
I have completely different device –
It’s “All or Nothing” formula I use.

When you enjoy each moment that we share,
Invite me to your house or to the ball,
To ever hesitate I shall not dare.
Affectionately I accept it all.

The heart goes mad and blood begins to boil –
You know exactly what it’s all about…
But then again why would you want to spoil
This heaven with a privilege of doubt?

Whatever  reason there may exist
To re-evaluate what you percept,
Do I have to explain why I resist:
There’s nothing less I’m willing to accept.

I cannot play it cool and just be wise,
Remembering the magic of your touch.
To keep it smooth we both should realize
That probably you are demanding much…

The cherished tiny tokens of the lust
Inspire all the feelings be aflame.
But in emotions there is no must,
And no one in particular to blame.

If Love may be your choice to sacrifice
And Care – to neglect or to abuse,
I really don’t have to tell you twice:
“All” means to win. And “Nothing” means to lose.
