If Love Were All

I believe in doing what I can

Crying when I must, and laughing when I choose

Hey ho, if love were all

I would be lonely

I believe the more you love a man

The more you put 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
