[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Now you want to be loved
Yet you want to be free
Your world is full of dreams
Of what you hope would be
You would never be lost
And where love was concerned
Your reverse would be crossed
And bridges could be burned
It was great to be free
All the world to explore
And you would hold the key
To open any door

[Verse 2]
Now you want to be loved
There's no peace in your mind
Well, suddenly you grow
And suddenly you find
That the world's not a dream
And this you have to learn
A very precious love
Is something you must earn
Is your heart still as pure
As it was in your dream?
Do your thoughts still endure
As ripples on a stream?
[Verse 3]
Were you always the same?
Thinking others are fools
Are you playing a game
And making up the rules?
Do you cherish your love
Or regret with a sigh?
Do you laugh at the world
As each day passes by?
Now you want to be loved
Yet you want to be free
But love is not a game
And this should never be

[Verse 4]
You're sincere, I believe
To yourself, you are true
But what will you achieve
When miracles are few?
Nothing ever can stay
Though you think you're supreme
Memories fade away
Like ripples on stream
If you want to be loved
You can never be free
So face up to the truth
And someday you may see
If you open your heart
And your heart can be true
As you want to be loved
Your love will come to you
