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 You've got to laugh a little, cry a little Before the clouds roll by a little That's the story of, That's the glory of love. As long as there's the two of you You've got the world and all its charms And when the world is through with you You've got each other's arms. You've got to win a little, lose a little And always have the blues a little That's the story of, That's the glory of love. As long as there's the two of you You've got the world and all its charms And when the world is through with you You've got each other's arms. You've got to win a little, lose a little And always have the blues a little That's the story of, That's the glory of love. That's the story of, That's the glory of love.
