Fate may often treat me meanly
But I keenly pursue
A little mirage in the blue
Determination helps me through
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
Hey ho if love were all
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 if love were all
Hey ho if love were all
