But Beautiful

But Beautiful - Betty Carter

Love is funny or it's sad

It's quiet or it's mad

It's a good thing or it's bad

But not beautiful beautiful

To take a chance

And if you fall you fall

And I'm thinking

I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful or it's gay

It's a problem or it's play

It's a heartache anyway

But beautiful

And I'm thinking if you were mine

I'd never let you go

And that would be

But beautiful I know

Who can say what love is

Does it start in the mind or the heart

When I hear discussions on what love is

Everybody speaks a different part

Love is tearful or it's gay

It's a problem or it's play

It's a heartache everyday but

Beautiful

And I'm thinking

If you were mine

I'd never never let you go

And that would be

But beautiful

I know
