I Need to Be in Love
Albert Hammond, John Bettis, Richard Carpenter
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 through 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 goodbye
It took awhile 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 4 AM, without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope, but I'm all right
