If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true Then in my heart I'd feel I had, a half-way chance with you
If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue If you spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new Then in my heart I'd feel I had, a half-way chance with you
A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live
If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue Then in my heart I'd feel I had, a half-way chance with you.
