#RhythmandBluesVarietyHour Vol. 18 – Everybody Wants to Be in Love

While you want successes, you also have to have failures too. This one, not my finest work. It doesn’t flow. However, it’s still my art.

Everybody Wants to Be in Love Written 2/20/10

Baby, I love you

Baby, I need you

I’ve got to have you

I need you to complete me

How many times have I heard them words before

Just to see them evaporate in the air

What happened to the love we used to have

Tell me why it’s no longer there

Oh why, why do we fall in love

Just to have it all go away

Just to have all the feelings fade

Nothing in life was ever meant to stay

I’ve taken off the rose colored glasses

And I see you for who you are

My passion for you has died down

And I don’t feel the need to try as hard

Everybody wants to be in love

What the hell are these people thinking of

By the third month I’m already sick of you

And all you want from me is what I can do for you

Everybody wants to be in love

Not realizing what that consists of

Maybe I’m just cynical about it

Maybe this is something I can’t mess with

Baby, I love you

Baby, I need you

I’ve got to have you

I need you to complete me

I don’t know why you like to do me this way

I don’t know why you wouldn’t be begging me to stay

And baby I don’t know why you don’t love me everyday

I don’t understand

Don’t treat me like that

Something about us just ain’t the same

I don’t know how I feel anymore

How dare you even call this love

What are we wasting our time for

Oh I, I don’t want to spend any time

I need to go find my friends

But you want all my attention

When will the madness end

Some people say the honeymoon is over

And we’ve moved into a better phase

We’ve moved past the lust

I want those honeymoon days

Everybody wants to be in love

What the hell are these people thinking of

By the third month I’m already sick of you

And all you want from me is what I can do for you

Everybody wants to be in love

Not realizing what that consists of

Maybe I’m just cynical about it

Maybe this is something I can’t mess with

Baby, I love you

Baby, I need you

I’ve got to have you

I need you to complete me

I don’t know why you like to do me this way

I don’t know why you wouldn’t be begging me to stay

And baby I don’t know why you don’t love me everyday

I don’t understand

Don’t treat me like that

Everybody wants to be in love

What the hell are these people thinking of

By the third month I’m already sick of you

And all you want from me is what I can do for you

Everybody wants to be in love

Not realizing what that consists of

Maybe I’m just cynical about it

Maybe this is something I can’t mess with
