Lyrics
I Want To Know Love
Ron Parks/Carolyn Baron/Earl C. Webb © 2010
(verse1)This is not love
It's an obsession
I'm not your lover
I'm your possession
I act no better
When it comes to loving you
I love you so much
I don't know what to do
(pre-chorus1)We both deserve better
So things have got to change
What we have isn't healthy
In fact it's kind of strange
We've made our mistakes
So let's do what it takes
I'm ready for something new
How about you?
(chorus)I want to know happiness
I want to know a sweet caress
I want to just trust in you
And know that you'll always be true
I want to know love
I want to know love
(verse 2)You're driving me crazy
Cause girl you confuse me
You push me away
Then say you don't want to lose me
(pre-chorus2)We've got to stop it right now
Girl this can't go one
We have to find something else
Cause this feels all wrong
We love each other
At least that's what we say
If we really want to know love
We have to find better way
(chorus)I want to know happiness
I want to know a sweet caress
I want to just trust in you
And know that you'll always be true
I want to know love
I want to know love
