Marianne Faithfull - If Love Were All lyrics

Life is very rough and tumble, For a humble deserves One can betray ones troubles never Whatever occurs. 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. Frequently I put a bit by, save for a rainy day Nobody here can say to what indeed The years are leading Though fate often treats me meanly I serenely persue A little mirage in the blue Determination helps me through 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.
