Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love lyrics

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 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 am
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
