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.
