The last time you kissed me, we stood at your door
I could taste on your lips you were promising more
How can you love someone 'til you don't anymore?
Oh, if that's all that is, then what's it all for?
Why have a family if it ain't what you ain't?
And why have a child you don't know how to love?

I've asked all of these questions and I still got more
Oh, if that's all that is, then what's it all for?
What's it all for? What's it all for?
If I ever knew, I don't anymore

You stand at the gates at the end of your times
And stretched out before you are scenes from your life
All the sweet simple things and the cold bitter choice
Oh, if that's all that is, then what's they're all for?

I've asked so many questions
but will you spare me one more?
Oh, if that's all that is, tell me, then what's it all for?
