Lyrics
NEVER ONLY LOVE
(written by John Blue)
It’s only love, it’s just a game
You’ll win the pleasure if you play
Forget the pain
It’s only love, a wit replied
Must be the same poor fool who said “It’s only life”
It’s only love,
It’s only love,
Yet I have learned well enough
It’s never only love.
It’s only love from pawn to king
It’s only love that equalizes everything
It’s only love, it’s only “Joy”,
It’s only “Girl”, it’s only “If”,
It’s only “Lonely Boy”.
It’s only love,
It’s only love,
Yes I have learned well enough
It’s never only love.
So poets play with words
Artists try to give it shape
A valentine adornment on a card for goodness sake
The songs and scripts may well weave a moon in June refrain
We all make contributions knowing well they’re made in vain.
The vistas that we chart aren’t wide enough
It’s never only love
It’s only love, the world around
All borders crossed submit, it’s all defenses down
It’s only love, why should you care,
It’s only got you by the heart
It’s only everywhere.
It’s only love,
It’s only love,
Yes I have learned well enough
It’s never only love.
