All I want in this life is to find my true love,
Someone to love me if I'm good or bad,
Someone to laugh when I'm silly and mad,
Someone to care if I catch the cold,
Someone to give me a ring of gold.

All I want in this life is to be really loved,
To know he'll be there when I'm unfair,
To know he'll forgive me my lies
                    and believe me again.
Someone to love me warts and all,
Someone to give me a ring of gold.

And my dreams, night and day,
              are all of just one little thing:
      I want to be loved,
      I need to be loved,
      I long to be loved
By someone who's funny and caring and bold,
Someone who'll give me a ring of gold.

My love is nothing but a sham,
Can't help it, that is what I am,
I didn't lie, but couldn't hide
From all this pain I felt inside.

I never lied, but my eyes did,
So did my heart, and did it bleed
when love was gone.

The moon was shining ever since,
the stars were bright, all was at peace,
when love was gone.

So here I am, all but a sham,
Again, this is just what I am.
This is my way, the way to be,
the way to love, and die for thee.
