I Need to Be in Love - Carpenters

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 goodbye.

It took awhile 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 4 a.m. 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.
