I've Never Had It Bad

(альбом: By Heart - 1984)

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...
