I Need to Be in Love
[Intro]
I hear the same old love song, night after night after night
And though I'm not the one the verse records
Wouldn't it be fair to hear my name in there?
Well, maybe it's just not in the cards
[Verse 1]
I need to be in love, I've never been in love
Almost every song they play says it's quite a run
And surely any kind of love is worthy of a nun
[Verse 2]
I want to be alone with someone else's touch
Every tune that opens always closes with a dance
And if it opens up to me I won't forsake my chance
[Bridge]
But one thing I don't know is how it's supposed to go
No one ever sat down to explain
My own experience has left me on the fence
Mister, could you play that love song once again?
[Verse 3]
I want to live the words that I have only heard
Never have I walked before in someone else's dream
But I've been lonely long enough in mine
And it may seem like greed
But I need to be in love
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
But one thing I don't know is how it's supposed to go
No one ever sat down to explain
My own experience has left me on the fence
Mister, could you play that love song once again?
[Verse 3]
I want to live the words that I have only heard
Never have I walked before in someone else's dream
But I've been lonely long enough in mine
And it may seem like greed
But I need to be in love
