Lyrics
Desperate Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nobody wants to do it alone
And everyone wants a happy home
But there's somethin' that no one needs
It strangles like a glove
Nobody wants a desperate love.
Someone to hold your hand
And tell your troubles to
Someone to hold you when you shake
When you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
Nobody wants a desperate love.
No one showed me how to feel
A love that's good and true and real
And no one told me how to be
And just feel good enough to live.
No one showed me how to feel
And no one told me how to be
And just feel good enough to live.
Now all's I'm askin' for
Is just a little time
To teach my heart a better way
To show you just how much
And what do you mean to me
Maybe then you'll want me to stay.
But when you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
And there's somethin' that nobody needs
Cause it strangles like a glove
And when you're standing there looking at me
You can bet your stars above
I don't wanna be...I ain't gonna be
I refuse to be your desperate love.
