Go All the Way is a song written by Eric Carmen of American rock group the Raspberries, from their 1972 album Raspberries. Released as a single in July 1972, the song reached the Top 5 on three principal US charts: number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 4 on Cashbox, and number 3 on Record World. The single sold more than 1.3 million copies, earning the band their only certified Gold Record. It was their second single release and their biggest US hit.
Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, "Go All the Way" was banned by the BBC, limiting its success in the United Kingdom.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Mama, yeah (Whoo)
Ooh
Come on
Ma-ma-ma-ma, yeah, whoo

[Verse 1]
I never knew how complete love could be
'Til she kissed me and said

[Chorus]
"Baby, please (Baby) go all the way
It feels so right (Feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please (Baby) go all the way
Just hold me close (Hold me close)
Don't ever let me go (Don't let me go)"

[Verse 2]
I couldn't say what I wanted to say
'Til she whispered, "I love you so"

[Chorus]
"Please (Baby) go all the way
It feels so right (Feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please (Baby) go all the way
Just hold me close (Hold me close)
Don't ever let me go (Don't let me go), oh no"

[Bridge]
Before her love, I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I've changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says (Come on)
"Come on (Come on)
(Come on)
Come on (Come on)
I need you (Come on), I love you (Come on)
I need you (Come on)"
(Come on)

[Chorus]
"Please (Baby) go all the way
It feels so right (Feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please (Baby) go all the way
Just hold me close (Hold me close)
Don't ever let me go (Don't let me go), oh no"

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh yeah
No, no, no, yeah, yeah, ow
Got to go all the way, yeah
Whoo-hoo
