It All Depends On You
Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine and the morning dew
Each thing depends on something and I depend on you
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad, it all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud, it all depends on you
I can save money or spend it, go right on living or end it
You're to blame, honey, for what I do
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen
I can be almost any old thing, it all depends on you
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad, it all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud, it all depends on you
I can save money or spend it, go right on living or end it
You're to blame, honey, for what I do
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen
I can be almost any old thing, it all depends on you
