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 everytime 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 darling)
I'm so lonely in love
Baby, you're my one and only
Why do you keep me lonely in love
