If Love Were All (From "Bitter Sweet")

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

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

Hey ho if love were all
