If Love Were All
(Noel Coward)
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, hey ho
So glad love ain’t all
