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
