If Love Were All [From Bitter Sweet]

Please please play my music for me,
I'm not sure of the words yet
Huh, I'm not sure of anything!
Life is very rough and tumble for a humble siseuse
One can betray one's troubles never, whatever occurs!
Night after night,
Have to be bright,
Whether you're well or ill
The people have to laugh their fill,
You mustn't sleep till dawn comes creeping.
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
And laughing when I choose.
Heigh 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,
Somebody 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,
Heigh ho!
If love were all!
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, I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me,
Somebody affectionate and dear,
Cares would be ended
If I knew that he wanted to have me near.
But, ah-ha, I believe that, since my life began,
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse,
Heigh ho!
If love were all!
