Harry Connick, Jr. - I Need to Be in Love lyrics

I hear the same old love song
Night after night after night
And though I'm not the one the verse records
Wouldn't it be fair to hear my name in there
Well, maybe it's just not in the cards

I need to be in love, I've never been in love
Almost every song they play
Says it's quite a run
And surely any kind of love
Is worthy of a nun

I want to be alone with someone else's touch
Every time that opens always
Closes with a dance and if it opens up to me
I won't forsake my chance
But one thing I don't know is
How it's supposed to go
No one ever sat down to explain
My own experience has left me on the fence
Mister, could you play that
Love song once again?

I want to live the world
That I have only heard
Never have I walked before
In someone else's dream
But, I've been lonely long enough in mine
And it may seem like greed but
I need to be in love

But one thing I don't know is
How it's supposed to go
No one ever sat down to explain
My own experience has left me on the fence
Mister, could you play that
Love song once again?

I want to live the world
That I have only heard
Never have I walked before
In someone else's dream
But, I've been lonely long enough in mine
And it may seem like greed but
I need to be in love
