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 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
