The Carpenters - I Need to Be in Love lyrics

rate me

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing<br />

There's someone in this crazy world for me<br />

The way that people come and go through temporary lives<br />

My chance could come and I might never know<br />

<br />

I used to say, "No promises, let's keep it simple"<br />

But freedom only helps you say goodbye<br />

It took a while for me to learn that nothin' comes for free<br />

The price I've paid is high enough for me<br />

<br />

I know I need to be in love<br />

I know I've wasted too much time<br />

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world<br />

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find<br />

<br />

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions<br />

But none of them will comfort me, tonight<br />

I'm wide awake at four a.m. without a friend in sight<br />

I'm hangin' on a hope but I'm alright<br />

<br />

I know I need to be in love<br />

I know I've wasted too much time<br />

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world<br />

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find<br />

<br />

I know I need to be in love<br />

I know I've wasted too much time<br />

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world<br />

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find<br /><br />
