    I need to be in love

    by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis

    _______________________________________

    The hardest thing I’ve ever done is keep believing
    There’s someone in this crazy world for me
    The way that people come and go thru temporary lives
    My chance could come and I might never know

    I used to say “No promises, let’s keep it simple”
    But freedom only helps you say good-bye
    It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
    The price I’ve paid is high enough for me

    I know I need to be in love
    I know I’ve wasted too much time
    I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
    And fool enough to think that’s what I’ll find

    So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
    But none of them will comfort me tonight
    I’m wide awake at four a.m. without a friend in sight
    Hanging on a hope but I’m alright

    I know I need to be in love
    I know I’ve wasted too much time
    I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
    And fool enough to think that’s what I’ll find
