Nobody wants to do it alone
And everyone wants a happy home
But there's somethin' that no one needs
It strangles like a glove
Nobody wants a desperate loveSomeone to hold your hand
And tell your troubles to
Someone to hold you when you shake
When you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
Nobody wants a desperate loveBut no one showed me how to feel
A love that's good and true and real
And no one told me how to be
And just feel good enough to liveNo one told me how to feel
And no one showed me how to be
And just feel good enough to liveSo all's I'm askin' for is just a little time
To teach my heart a better way
To show you just how much
And what do you mean to me
Maybe then you'll want me to stayBut when you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
And then there's somethin' that nobody needs
'Cause it strangles like a gloveAnd when you're standing there looking at me
You can bet your stars above
I don't wanna be, I ain't gonna be
I refuse to be your desperate love
