Lyrics
VERSE
You reply that you love me, too, but I’m not certain you do
I need to be sure, secure, that love will endure
So you need to say it like you mean it if you truly love me
Because it’s true that love is not free
CHORUS
(That) Love gives only to receive love in return
A love that’s only make believe could never learn
That when I give my love to you, I need you to love me back
Love must be more than an act because love gives only to receive
VERSE
Let love live or let it die; I don’t need any beautiful lies
A one-sided love could never last; no future, no past
Love is precious to me, never free; what else could it be?
Just open your eyes so you can see
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Of course, I hope I’m very wrong
Nothing would please me more than believing our love is strong
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Yes, love gives only to receive
