[Verse 1]
I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
[Chorus]
Hey-ho, if love were all
I should be lonely
[Verse 2]
I believe the more you love a man
The more you give your trust
The more you're bound to lose
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just
A talent to amuse
[Chorus]
Hey-ho, if love were all
Hey-ho, if love were all
I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
[Chorus]
Hey-ho, if love were all
I should be lonely
[Verse 2]
I believe the more you love a man
The more you give your trust
The more you're bound to lose
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just
A talent to amuse
[Chorus]
Hey-ho, if love were all
Hey-ho, if love were all
