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's wise to be cruel

And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie

What 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 find 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.
