(johnny burke)

Better face the facts, ol' buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow
You don't have to sit and study,
It's something anyone should know
Shake hands get your hat
And go

You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,

But if love ain't there,
It ain't there

And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware

And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, "unfair"
You can almost die of despair
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there
