Faithfull Marianne - If Love Were All lyrics

rate me

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.
