Now You Want To Be Loved
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.
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 where 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're grown
And suddenly you find
That the world's not a dream
And this you'll have to learn
A very precious love
Is something you must earn
Now you want to be loved
Yet you want to be free
But love is not a game
And this should never be
If you want to be loved
You can never be free
So face up to the truth
And some day you may see
If you open your heart
And your heart can be true
As you want to be loved
Your love will come to you
Your love will come to you
