If Love Were All Songtext
von Helen Merrill

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
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
Heigh-ho
If love were all
