I Want Love
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
  

I want love but it's impossible
A man like me's so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

I can't love shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

  Chorus
But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love
Won't break me down
Won't brick me up
Won't fence me in
I want a love
That don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic

  Chorus

So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough
   
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

  Chorus twice
