Some say that love is its own
Love is its own reward
But i can't help but believe
There's got to be more.

A man needs a woman
To have and to hold
To love him in body
As well as in soul
I need your desire
Where did the fire go?

I keep trying to sleep
But sleep won't be mine tonight
There's so much sorrow inside
And baby, i don't know why.

I give you your freedom
I give you my love
I give all i have every time that we touch
I don't know, baby,
Maybe i give too much.

Chorus
Now i'm lonely in love
Why must i be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must i be lonely
Why must i be lonely in love.

I know that love carries no
She carries no guarantees
But still i can't seem to
Find a reason that i can believe in
You said to be patient
And give you some room
You said you had changes
You need to work through
But the longer i wait
The farther i feel from you.

(repeat chorus twice)
Baby, you're my one and only
Why do you keep me lonely in love.
