[Verse]
Well, the things you say
And the things you do
Baby, someday will come back on you
It's time to reach and turn another page
You can slip and fall
All along the way
Not much thought about it that I can say
Everybody knows it's all in the name of love
Well, you play the game
But you just can't win
They put you at the back and start all over again
You place your bets
You say it fits you like a glove
Then you dream away
Dream again
Until your dream comes true now, my friend
Because everybody knows it's all in the name of love

[Chorus x2]
Said, it's all in the name, all in the name
No matter how you try, it's never, ever the same
It's all in the name, all in the name of love
Some say the man is crazy
Others gentle as a dove
But it's all in the name, (all in the name, all in the name, all in the name)
All in the name of love

[Outro]
Yes, it's all in the name, all in the name
No matter how you try, it's never, ever the same
It's all in the game, all in the name of love
Yes, it's all in the name, all in the name
They put you in the back and start all over again
It's all in the game, all in the name of love
Yes, it's all in the name, (all in the name)
All in the name of love

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
