Nobody Should Have To Love This Way

(album: Straight To The Heart - 1986)

Well it looks like I'm in line
For another lonely night
And I don't know where it all went wrong
Or what it'll take to make it right

So I sit by the window
And I watch the rain fall
And you don't call

Nobody should have to love this way
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody should have to love this way

It's been a long time since you held me
And really made it feel like love
And it feels like I'm just hanging on
But I just can't give it up

So I lie in the darkness
When we're together
And I remember

Nobody should have to love this way
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody should have to love this way

Is this the way other lovers live
No-one should have to give
So much love with no love in return
Love as true as mine
Deserves to be returned in kind
Oh, but my heart never learns

So I sleep with the memory
Curled up beside me
And the need inside me

Nobody should have to love this way
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody should have to love this way
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody should have to love this way
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
