"Alfie" lyrics

Alfie

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about
When you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give

Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs
Only to the strong, Alfie
Will you lend on an old golden rule?

As sure as I believe
There's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in

I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you've found the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie

When you walk
Let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie
Alfie
