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 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 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'm so lonely in love Why must I be lonely in love with you darlin' I'm so lonely in love Baby you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love
