I Want To Love You
I want to love you, but you make it a chore
One shouldn’t have to work so hard to love
Still, I want you more and more,
I can’t help it when push comes to shove.
My feelings for you are difficult to explain
I want to love you, but you make it a chore
Time after time I’ve made my feelings plain
And every time you shut the door.
I fear I am beginning to sound like a boor,
But I am trying to honestly tell you how I feel,
I want to love you, but you make it a chore
Slowly I’m beginning to question your appeal.
If you don’t share these feelings I have inside
Emotions I have shared many times before
I’m wondering if you’re taking me for a ride
I want to love you, but you make it a chore.
