I picked a flower and I named her
I adopted something fragile and gave it identity.

She withered away
The object of my affection suffered a tragic fate.

A heart like a locket but I'll find a way in
I still yearn for intimacy despite setbacks and obstacles.

Oh, but beauty has to fade
Nothing captivating lasts forever.

Oh, I don't know, God I don't know
I am uncertain about many things, both big and small.

Just that I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
My greatest desire is to share my affections with someone special.

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
Romantic fulfillment may always elude me.

I'll never tire of dreaming of it
A vivid imagination is a source of comfort and joy.

As I drift off to sleep
My mind wanders freely in subconscious thought.

Listening to chimes ringing clear as the morning
The world around me is full of distinct sounds and sensations.

I'll set my soul free
I long for personal liberation and fulfillment.

I felt my heart sing and my spirit soaring
I experienced a deep, profound emotion that uplifted me.

Was this whole world made for me?
I sometimes believe that the universe revolves around my existence.

Do you hear wedding bells?
Are my romantic aspirations ever going to be realized?

Because I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
I crave closeness with another person more than anything else.

I think about everything else
My mind is often consumed with other matters besides love.

And I know that I must love myself
Before I can truly love anyone else, I must care for and accept myself.

'Til anyone other than me
Until an external perspective can verify my sense of self-worth.

Can look and then see what I see
Understand the beauty and value that I perceive within myself.

And sense where the harmony dwells
Perceive the peacefulness and contentment I feel when I am in synch with my true self.

I'm not really up to it
I may lack the courage or conviction to pursue love at the moment.

Do you hear wedding bells?
I cannot help but ponder if love will ever come knocking at my door again.

Because I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
I will always crave companionship and the closeness of another person.

As I drift off to sleep on the water
My subconscious remains consumed with romantic fantasies even in my most vulnerable moments.

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I may never find that special person to share a romantic connection with.

I'll never tire of dreaming of it
Regardless of the outcome, I will always cherish my romantic dreams and aspirations.
