Lyrics
Refrain:
I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Heigh-o, 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
Heigh-o, if love were all
