I WANT TO GIVE LOVE
Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
You’d think it would be nothing to pretend that ev’rything’s all right,
But sooner or later it catches up to you in the stillness of the night.
I’m tired of pretending love doesn’t matter—how could that be true?
If wanting love’s a crime, I stand accused!
I want to give love. I want to be loved.
I want to live love. I want to start.
I want to feel love. I want to touch love.
I have so much love here in heart.
Why should I deny it? There’s nothing left to lose but loneliness and pain.
Why should I try to hide it? What I feel is what I feel, I’ve ev’rything to gain.
It’s no use pretending I don’t want your love—how could that be true?
If wanting love’s a crime, I stand accused!
I want to give love. I want to be loved.
I want to live love only with you!
I want to feel love. I want to touch love.
Look in my heart, love, and know it’s true!
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I want to feel love. I want to touch love.
I want to give love only to you.
Only to you.
