Alfie Lyrics

Artist: Dionne Warwick
Album: Alfie

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's 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.

Comments/Interpretations
by dave diBona on 5/25/2008 8:33am some of the best collection of words ever written for a song they describe so well the conflect of commitment to a love or the cast of a free spirit who never stays but is only a sail of the current wind and when the wind is still WHAT THEN ALFIE
by Lizq on 7/10/2008 11:57am This song sucks ball sacks
by Carol on 11/1/2008 9:36am One of the most beautiful songs of all times. The popularity of this sound is not lost. I wish this kind of music and songs would come back to the forefront of radio listening.
by Paul on 12/21/2008 3:55pm What a great lyric. I use the lyrics in funeral homilies.
by libby on 4/12/2009 2:26pm im still trying to sing this myself, i dont know why, but i have a hard time with it. it is beautiful though, my mom tries to get me to sing it ALL the time.
by 1cent on 4/14/2009 2:04pm One of my all time favorites. Mr. diBona your interpretation is beautiful in itself. It certainly fits what is happening in my life now. Thank You!!! Libby, if you do not feel it in your heart, you will never be able to sing it. Follow your own heart. Paul, Do you spend that much time at funerals??? so sad
by Fredrick king on 7/4/2010 5:16pm This a a match made in heaven, to hear Ron isley sing with Burt Bacharach,Alfie. This is one of the great songs of our time and it touches me everytime I hear it, or sing it.

by Mike on 2/17/2011 10:50pm This song touches my heart.
by Awesome! on 3/30/2011 6:41am Awesome song! I've always loved hearing Deionne sing it, too. Just watched the movie "Alfie" with Jude law, etal last night.
by DatDorseyGirl on 7/7/2011 2:25pm Dave DiBona............on point......when the smoke clears and the party is over, what then??
by ellak ek on 7/10/2011 5:53pm i think that to be cruel is because you are hurt and weack, and because you want to avoid something. but the sentence that says i believe in love let your heat lead you and the begining and the end was lovely. true love is great and friendship is great too... two different kinds of love and love is just
by Medusa777 on 8/2/2011 8:09pm I sanged this song on July 27, 2011 at an employee appreciation lunch. My co-workers were my audience. They enjoyed it. : D
by Lisa on 1/30/2012 9:02pm to 1cent: some people like myself are priests or musicians who work at funerals as part of our job. It's not exactly sad. It's a privilege to be let into families' lives at such a sacred time. It's really okay.
by akuta roland on 1/31/2012 7:41am they say ,this group can help one to be rich ,it is true
by joseph demarco on 3/22/2012 6:41pm Simply the Best song written.....
by Palmer on 5/17/2012 11:49pm I think the best version of this is by the late Matt Monroe. I'm trying to remember , who sang it in the original with Michael Caine. I happened to see the stage play at the National Theater in Wash D.C. with Terrance Stamp in the lead role. in the early sixties. I think Juliet Mills was also in it. It is hard to sing especially the closing but it is beautiful.
