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.

Hey ho, if love were all.
Hey ho, if love were all.

Hey ho, if love were all.
