Irving Berlin - What Chance Have I With Love? lyrics

[Verse:] Love is beautiful, love is swell Love is as sweet as a nut Love is grander than tongue can tell Love is remarkable but [1st refrain:] Look at what it did to Romeo It dealt poor Romey an awful blow If love could do that to Romeo What chance have I with love? Look at what it did to Anthony It made a "mark" out of Anthony If love could do that to Anthony What chance have I with love? Look at what it did to Samson 'Til he lost his hair he was brave If a haircut could weaken Samson They could murder me with a shave Louie Number Fifteen, King of France They say he suffered with each romance If love kicked him in the royal pants What chance have I An ordinary guy What chance have I with love? [2nd refrain:] Look at what it did to Adam From that bite he could not escape If an apple could finish Adam They could knock me off with a grape Miss Lucrezia Borgia, deep in sin She poisoned her lovers when they dropped in If they wound up with a Mickey Finn What chance have I An ordinary guy What chance have I with love? [3rd refrain:] Look what love did for Reno It put Reno on the map When a woman goes to Reno It's because some man is a sap Tommy Manville's love is not returned He sells asbestos and he has learned That with asbestos he still gets burned What chance have I An ordinary guy What chance have I with love? [Alternate strain:] Look at what it did to Bonaparte He lost his head when he lost his heart If he kicked over the apple cart What chance have I An ordinary guy What chance have I with love?
