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 love.



Someone 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 love.



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 live.



No one showed me how to feel

And no one told me how to be

And just feel good enough to live.



Now 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 stay.



But when you're lovin' a heart in two

It cuts off all the blood

And there's somethin' that nobody needs

Cause it strangles like a glove

And 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.
