Can I Love Somebody The Way I Wanna Be Loved

[Verse 1]
My heart's on fire, longing for a love that feels like home
'Cause I desire a spiritual love that I can call my own
Am I conflicted by the things I see?
Am I worthy of all that love should be?
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved?
'Cause I wanna be loved

[Verse 2]
True love is divine if I could only dare to take a chance
It's more than romance, 'cause flowers fade
But the love should still remain
There has to be a purpose for all this pain
Trade the love I give for the joy I gain
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved?
'Cause I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved, loved

[Bridge]
No more neglecting love, I'm respecting love
'Cause I treated it selfishly
What if the very love I've been looking for was preparing patiently?
Waiting for me, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
There has to be a purpose for all this pain
Trade the love I give for the joy I gain
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved? Loved
'Cause I wanna be loved, don't let me get in the way, God
