If Love Were All

Fate may often treat me meanly
But i keenly pursue
A little mirage in the blue,
Determination helps me through.

Though i never really grumble,
Life's a jumble indeed
And in my efforts to succeed
I've had to formulate a creed.


I believe in doing what i can
In crying when i must
In laughing when i choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.


I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if i knew that he
Wanted to have me near.


But i believe that since my life began
The most i've had is just a talent to amuse.
Hey ho, if love were all.
Hey ho, if love were all.
