You've got to give a little
Take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
(Glory of love)
You've got to give a little (Yes, you're way up on top now)
Take a little (And you want to be free)
(Why, you feel that you're too good
Much too good for a nobody like me)
And let the clouds go fight a little
(You're afraid to present me to the friends in your circle)
That's the story of (Well, darling
I guess it's best that we should part)
That's the glory of love
(But how soon you forget the fine, fine things you've done)
(Glory of love)
And how just a little taste of success has
Gone straight to your pretty little head
(You've got to give a little)
I hold in my hand, dear, three letters
(Take a little)
Three letters from the stage of your fine, fine, super fine career
(And let your poor heart break a little)
The first began, "Eddie, darling, sweetheart, my wonderful one
I will always be grateful for the things that you've done"
(That's the story of)
The second letter came right after I gave you your star
(That's the glory of love)
Yes, it came from your pen, dear, but not from your heart
The third that came, the joke of the day
You ended your letter enclosed, "Please sign, my cherie"
(And when this world is too dark)
Why, you fool
You poor, sad, worthless, foolish fool
(We will have each other's love)
If you think that money can pay for the hard years I have suffered
'Til things broke your way
(And when there's only two of us)
Yes, I'm answering your last letter that says we must part
I'm tearing it to pieces the way you tore up my heart
(Yes, we'll love, oh, yes, we'll love)
I smile when you kiss me and I thrill at your touch
My only sin was I love you much too much
Win a little
Lose a little
And always have the blues a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
Yes, story
Glory of love
