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 someday 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.
