I need to be in love

Hoje acordei com uma grande vontade de ouvir Carpenters. Resolvi então aproveitar o meu passeio matinal e ir até à Fnac à procura de um cd deles, sim eu ainda sou das poucas pessoas que gosta de comprar cd's, só não compro mais porque não posso.
Pois eis que, ao ler o livro que acompanha o disco, encontrei uma letra com a qual me identifiquei em pleno. O título despertou-me imediata atenção: I need to be in love.
Fica aqui a letra:

The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go
Thru temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know


I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say good-bye
It took a while for me to learn
That nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me


I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of
A quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find


So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m.
Without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm alright
