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 till 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 want?
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, well, 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 pain and the cold bitter chord
Oh, if that's all that is, then what's it all for?

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