Lyrics

"Don't Be Loved" Words and Music by Ray Figueroa

If you never want to cry again
Over angry words under bitter tears
If you want to see the smiles of friends that have been away too long

If you want to see the sky again
Through this burning of the world in your hands
If you ever want to try again no matter what they may say

Chorus ? Then don?t be loved
Never take a chance on love

If you ever want to fly to the sun
They say never do what has never been done
If you never want to be passed by again by your closest friends

If you want to be there when your time has come
When you?re left alone you?re the only one
And you?re pouring your soul out again, and that?s all that?s been said?

Chorus ? Then don?t be loved
Never take a chance on love

Because you want to feel that light in your eyes
You want go feel something you won?t soon despise
You can?t take anymore
And you?re wondering if there?s something more
Is this something that you shouldn?t ignore
But you want to be there?.

If you ever want to have time on your side
Things you want to do, will you ever try?
If you never want to ask yourself why, better not wait too long

As the mystery unfolds in your mind
All will be revealed if you stand by
And you?re pouring your should out again, and it?s all in your head?

Chorus ? Then don?t be loved
Never take a chance on love
