Michael McDonald - All In Love Is Fair Lyrics






All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say

But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery

But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay

But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play

But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
All in love is fair

    EVERYTHING Michael McDonald has EVER done... EVERY song, EVERY note, EVERY performance... PURE GOLD! Michael McDonald... his beautiful, soulful voice... every song he has written... every note he has recorded & performed... they are a gift of love to the world from Heaven above!

    M.... A....

    HE REALLY IS SOO TALENTED JUST BRINGS ME TEARS EVERY TIME

    M.... A....

    Yvonne Turner As a Michael McDonald fan, U are likely already familiar with it, but if U would be so inclined, U should look-up his recording of "I Can Let Go Now." (Speaking of being moved to tears!) Such an exquisite performance of an extraordinarily beautiful song. It will ALWAYS be one of my all-time favorites!💕 Also, (I dont believe he has... but) I wish he would one day record the 1939 Billie Holliday song "God Bless The Child." Tho I have to admit... the combination of that beautiful song w/Michael McDonald's soulful, heartfelt vocal... well... it may just move me to the point of no return. And yet... I STILL would SO-O-O LOVE TO HEAR IT!!! 💕💕💕

    M.... A....

    Agreed, after meeting him 3 x in 2018 I am convinced he is a gift straight from God for us. This man is so sweet and humble and generous with his time. He will always be my favorite. I've listened to every version of this song. His is the best even though it's a Stevie song. His is great too, but I'm partial to this man....He's 66 now and that voice sounds just the same. I recommend highly seeing him in concert. It is sooooo worth it.

    M.... A....

    I saw him performing in Birmingham in 2017,he totally blew me away,I am and have been a fan of his music for over 40 years and everything he puts his name to just oozes quality,he never puts a foot wrong,an absolute legend,genius,and a huge influence to me with regard to what I love listening to and also what I myself as a musician perform.

  36. C.... B....

    Singing from the SOUL.

  37. T.... M....

    L💙ve.

  38. S.... B....

    He pours it all out in this song!!

  39. M.... O....

    That distinctive voice, still in fine form at 65 years old. I had a crush on him 40 years ago when I was 19. I saw him in concert here in Southern CA when he was at a small venue. I shouted out to him that he was good-looking, with other women cheering in agreement. His face flushed in embarrassment, but he thanked me for the compliment. That was over thirty years ago. Michael's version of this song is beautiful.

    M.... O....

    Miki Osep I had a crush on EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM 40 years ago... & I STILL DO! He is every bit as gorgeous to look at & to listen to in 2018 as he ever was. My, my, my... how blessed we are to have had Michael McDonald & his music in our world. Thank you Michael. 💕

    M.... O....

    ...that sounds such a tender moment. Sweet!

    M.... O....

    Hahaha! Same for me Miki only it was over 40 years ago when he was with the Doobie Bros. ... Sacramento State Fair ... he is still my #1 favorite singer ...

    M.... O....

    we're the same age and i've loved him throughout. wonderful talent.

  40. s.... J....

    Smokey perfection!

  41. S.... M....

    To be blessed by god with the strength of heart and a voice to share with the rest of us...That is Michael McDonald

  42. K.... M....

    painfully beautiful.

  43. L.... P....

    "All In Love Is Fair"

    All is fair in love
    Love's a crazy game
    Two people vow to stay
    In love as one they say
    But all is changed with time
    The future no one can see
    The road you leave behind
    Ahead lies mystery
    But all is fair in love
    I had to go away
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    All of fate's a chance
    It's either good or bad
    I tossed my coin to say
    In love with me you'd stay
    But all in war is so cold
    You either win or lose
    When all is put away
    The loosing side I'll play
    But all is fair in love
    I should never have left your side
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    My favorite singer. The piano sounds like a real piano. Perfect tone. My guess is it is a Yamaha Motif.

    J.... H....

    Slam Grand Piano

  45. m.... ....

    Michael McDonald is outrageous.

  46. L.... M....

    It's Stevie Wonders most beautiful songs, but you sing it to perfection!

  47. M.... o....

    bellísimo tema. .❤

  48. D.... H....

    Thks for Sharing Stan!! No body can touch that voice!!

  50. R.... C....

    Mike ,YOU have ALWAYS inspired me when I listen to any and all your singing YOU are the missing link in harmony THAT blends well with any music,God bless YOU

  51. T.... R....

    WTF! I Thought Michael McDonald was black!

    T.... R....

    T.... R....

    Many think Johnny Mathis is white!

  58. P.... Z....

    My idol Michael McDonald! Perfect! Stevie!

  59. d.... j....

    JUST STRAIGHT UP "WOW", THANKS STEVE, SING MICHAEL, BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT

  60. c.... ....

    I love Michael McDonald! Sang to perfection!

  61. M.... ....

    awesome voice

  62. S.... ....

    Um, yeah, JazzDrummer, that's the song.  

  63. S.... ....

    Michael MacDonald puts Barbra Streisand's version to shame.
    LOVED Barbra's version....until I heard this....roughly 10 years ago on a friend's DVD.  Better than the live version!!

    S.... ....

    +SoapsNthings Love this version but c'mon , puts Barbra's version to shame? No man just no, Love both singers.

    S.... ....

    Oh, they're both good, but the arrangement of this version beats Barbra's, in my opinion.

  64. L.... L....

    Sooooooooo beautiful. And he sings it so well. The entire production there. So touching it transports you over life and makes you think. I've heard Stevie was a genius, and this is such an excellent piece of music. I guess due to my age I've been introduced to much of his music through this man. I'll be diving into to Stevie next. What a song. What a voice. And a beautiful, beautiful arrangement of music.

    L.... L....

    Amen Sister!

  65. W.... ....

    I love how he starts each phrase half-way behind the music, but makes it to the end on time and in time <3

    W.... ....

    Sssshay - straight from r&b and gospel

  66. R.... C....

    strasne akordy...zaujimave kridlo:)

    R.... C....

    @Roman C Huh?

    R.... C....

    Roman C oi bom dia podemos ser amigo sou brasileira e amo seu país um bjs a todos lembranças a família

  67. M.... C....

    Still one of my few picks talking about a great vocalist.

  68. a.... ....

    Breathtaking, sheer perfection

    a.... ....

    @alextw13jf I couldn't agree more.
    It's a shame the song rarely made the airwaves on the radio and with promotion.

    Every time I listen to the studio version, it give me goosebumps.

    a.... ....

    I'd be honored if a few Michael McDonald fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of HEART TO HEART (his composition/duet with Kenny Loggins) on my channel. Real live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and please excuse the promo.

    a.... ....

    What a voice, pure perfection

  69. F.... Z....

    Speechless....
