If Love Ain’t There

(Johnny Burke)

Better face the facts, ol' buddy
And be prepared to take the blow
You don't have to sit and study
It's something anyone should know
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go

You can praise her eyes
And adore her hair
But if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air
But if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can look
With a longing in your look
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware

And you can weep and sigh
You can say, "Unfair"
You can almost die of despair
But if love ain't there
It ain't there
