some say that love is its own, love is its own reward
but i can't help but believe there's got to be more
a man needs a woman to have and to hold
to love him in body as well as in soul
i need your desire, where did the fire go
i keep trying to sleep but sleep won't be mine tonight
there's so much sorrow inside and baby i don't know why
i give you your freedom, i give you my love
i give all i have every time that we touch
i don't know baby, maybe i give too much
[chorus:]
now i'm lonely in love
why must i be lonely in love
i'm so lonely in love
baby why must i be lonely
why must i be lonely in love
i know that love carries no, she carries no guarantees
but still i can't seem to find a reason that i can believe in
you said to be patient and give you some room
you said you had changes you need to work through
but the longer i wait the farther i feel from you
[chorus]
i'm so lonely in love
why must i be lonely in love with you darlin'
i'm so lonely in love
baby you're my one and only
why do you keep me lonely in love |
