《 The Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love 》

《 The Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love 》

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 a while for me to learn

That nothin' 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

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
