Alfie lyrics
by Dionne Warwick



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 is 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
