"If Love Were All" lyrics - RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

I believe in doing what I can
Crying when I must
And laughing when I choose
Hey ho
If love were all
I would be lonely

I believe the more you love a man
The more you put 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
