Helen Merrill › Lyrics › If Love Were All

I believe in doing what I can
Crying when I must, 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 wish that 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
