Lyrics If Love Were All (live at Kenwood House 2010) - 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
