Never Love Unless You Can Lyrics

Never love unless you can
Bear with all the faults of man:
Men sometimes will jealous be
Though but little cause they see;
And hang the head, as discontent
And speak what straight they will repent

Men that but one saint adore
Make a show of love to more
Beauty must be scorned in none
Though but truly served in one:
For what is courtship but disguise?
True hearts may have dissembling eyes

Men, when their affairs require
Must awhile themselves retire;
Sometimes hunt, and sometimes hawk
And not ever sit and talk
If these and such-like you can bear
Then like, and love, and never fear!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
