Now You Want To Be Loved

Now you want to be loved Yet you want to be free. Your world is full of dreams Of what you hoped would be. You would never be lost And where love was concerned Your rivers 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. Now you want to be loved There's no peace in your mind For suddenly you grow And suddenly you find That the world is not a dream And this you have to learn A very precious love Is something you must earn. Is your heart still as sure As it was in your dream Are you thoughts still as pure And not what they may seem Were you always the same Taking others for fools Are you playing a game And making up the rules Do you cherish your love Or regret with a sigh Will 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 This can never be. You're sincere you believe To yourself you are true But what can you achieve When miracles are few Comes a time you awake To the way you must live For those who love to take Sometimes have got to give. 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
