If Love Were All

If Love Were All - Helen Merrill (海倫.梅芮爾)

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

And laughing when I choose

Heigh 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

Somebody 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

Heigh ho

If love were all
