Now You Want to Be Loved

Now you want to be loved
Yet you want to be free
Your world is full of dreams of what you hoped would be
You would never be lost
And well, love was concerned
Your rivers would be crossed
And bridges could be burned
It was great to be free
All the world to explore
And you would hold the key
To open any door
Now you want to be loved
There's no peace in your mind
For suddenly you grow and suddenly you find
That the world's not a dream
And this you have to learn
A very precious love
Is something you must earn
Is your heart still as pure as it was in your dream?
Do your thoughts still endure
Like ripples on a stream
Were you always the same?
Thinking others were fools
Are you playing a game?
And are you making all the rules?
Do you cherish your love?
Or regret with a sigh?
Do you laugh at the world as each day passes by?
Now you want to be loved
Yet you want to be free
But love is not a game
And it should never be
You're sincere, I believe
To yourself you're true
But what will you achieve, when miracles are few?
Nothing ever can stay though you think you're supreme
Memories fade away like ripples on a stream
If you want to be loved, you can never be free
So face up to the truth and someday you may see
If you open your heart and your heart can be true
'Cause you want to be loved
Your love will come to you
Your love will come to you
