I've Never Had It Bad

I've had love enough for any man

But not enough to learn

I wish I had a nickel for

Each bridge I've had to burn.

I've had love that warmed my heart

And love that left me sad

I've had love a thousand ways

But I've never had it bad.

I've had love that bloomed in spring

But never saw the fall

And I've known love so big it made

Life itself seem small.

Sometimes love was pure and sweet

And sometimes just a fad

I've had love a thousand ways

But I've never had it bad.

Love is only what we make it

A window or a wall

Love can heal a heart or break it

But it's a fool who never falls.

We've had love this time around

But it seems our time has passed

Even though we made it work

We couldn't make it last.

So here's a toast to you and me

And everything we had

I've had love a thousand ways

But I've never had it bad...
