"If All You Ever Had Was Love" lyrics

If all you ever had was love
If all you ever had was love
Love is all you'd ever write songs about

Love is tired
Overdone
Burt Bacharach on the telephone
I will rest
No more songs
'Til love has spent some time alone

Love's been done a hundred times
A song for every fallen tear
A verse for every girl and boy
A note for every guess I'll see ya
Later baby

If all you ever had was love
If all you ever had was love
Love is all you'd ever write songs about

All those words
Linger on
Like Elton on the radio
Must we crave
Fast-food love
A love song and some fries to go

Love's been done a thousand times
A song for every lost idea
A verse for every broken dream
A note for every guess I'll see ya
Later baby

I am tired
Heavy load
A donkey for my love Messiah
I will just
Carry on
Until they notice I am tired

Love's been sung a million times
A song for every jilted lover
A verse for every broken heart
A note for every guess it's over
This time baby
This time baby
Guess it's over this time

If all you ever had was love
If all you ever had was love
If all you ever had was love
Love is all you'd ever write songs about
Love is all you'd ever write songs about
