Jonathan Richman - Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love lyrics
[Jonathan Richman - Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love lyrics]
I used to walk all over town all over town
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for love from someone
I was waiting for affection
But I was looking in the wrong direction
What I needed was not so much
To be loved as to love
I used to walk all over town all over town
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for someone to love a long time
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to
Be loved as to love
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to
Be loved as to love
Not so much to be loved as to love
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for love from someone
I was waiting for affection
But I was looking in the wrong direction
What I needed was not so much
To be loved as to love
I used to walk all over town all over town
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for someone to love a long time
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to
Be loved as to love
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to
Be loved as to love
Not so much to be loved as to love
