Now You Want To Be Loved

Now You Want To Be Loved ((French Version: Des Ronds Dans L'eau (Françoise Hardy)) Composer(s): Pierre Barouh - Raymond Le Sénéchal - Sonny Miller Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Now you want to be loved
yet you want to be free
Your world is full of dreams
of what you hoped would be

You would never be lost
and where love was concerned
your rivers would be crossed
and bridges could be burned

It was great to be free
all the world to explore
and you would hold the key
to open any door

Now you want to be loved
there’s no peace in your mind
for suddenly you grow
and suddenly you find
that the world is not a dream
and this you have to learn
a very precious love
is something you must earn

Is your heart still as sure
as it was in your dream?
Are you thoughts still as pure
and not what they may seem?

Were you always the same
taking others for fools?
Are you playing a game
and making up the rules?

Do you cherish your love
or regret with a sigh?
Will you laugh at the world
as each day passes by?

Now you want to be loved
yet you want to be free
but love is not a game
this can never be

You’re sincere you believe
to yourself you are true
but what can you achieve
when miracles are few?

Comes a time you awake
to the way you must live
for those who love to take
sometimes have got to give

If you want to be loved
you can never be free
so face up to the truth
and someday you may see
if you open your heart
and your heart can be true
as you want to be loved
your love will come to you
