Lyrics All In the Name of Love - Ringo Starr

By Lynn Williams

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.
EV'RYBODY 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,
'CAUSE EV′RYBODY KNOWS IT′S ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE.

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.

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.

SOME SAY THE MAN IS CRAZY,
OTHERS GENTLE AS A DOVE.
EV'RYBODY KNOWS IT′S ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE.

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.
