I'D Like To Love You

I’d just like to love you but, you love to just like me. I really want to have you but, you’d have to really want me. We are at different places in our relationship, So all I can do is sing about you, but at least this song’s a hit. Seems people everywhere can really relate to this song, About love going nowhere in a relationship all wrong. Everywhere I sing this song the fan base really grows, Because it’s full of music and words that they already seem to know. Sometimes it’s a guy who loves a girl, a girl who loves him not. Sometimes it’s a girl who in her heart cupid’s arrow has been shot. Sometimes they’re young and sometimes old, sometimes straight and even gay, It doesn’t matter who they are they all hurt in the same way. I’d just like to love you but, you love to just like me. I really want to have you but, you’d have to really want me. We are at different places in our relationship, So all I can do is sing about you, but at least this song’s a hit. People tell me everywhere that I am singing their life’s story And wonder how I knew their feelings in all its heartache glory Seems their misery loves my company when I sing their song And after the first verse is nearly sung they can already sing along. The sad thing for me really is that you haven’t even got a clue That when I wrote the words to this song I wrote about me and you. You think we have a beautiful thing being friends through and through And it never clicked inside your head why I’m so good at singing the blues. I’d just like to love you but, you love to just like me. I really want to have you but, you’d have to really want me. We are at different places in our relationship, So all I can do is sing about you, but at least this song’s a hit. So all I can do is sing about you, but at least this song’s a hit. So all I can do is sing about you ... But at least this song’s a hit.
