If This Is Love

I don't mind a little hurting

I never minded a little pain

But if these are the rules

I'd be a fool

to want to play this game

I don't like to sound complaining

Like I was sorry for myself

But my feelings are such

and there's only so much

a man is willing to take

If this is love

I'd rather be lonely

If this is love

I'd rather be blue

There were times when I would smile at

every little thing she did

But where is the girl

That lit up my world

with everything she said

If this is love

I'd rather be lonely

If this is love

I'd rather be blue

It takes a better sailor

to keep this ship on course

in trying not to fail her

I only made it worse

I don't mind a little hurting

I never minded a little pain

But if these are the rules

I'd be a fool

to want to play this game

If this is love

I'd rather be lonely

If this is love

I'd rather be blue

If this is love

I'd rather be lonely

If this is love

I'd rather be blue
