Bassey, Shirley - I Need To Be In Love Lyrics






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 through 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 goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I 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 for 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

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

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

    I Have & i like this fabulous album vinyl !
    Shirley Bassey ++++++

  2. F.... ....

    alas vulnerability is not an emotion Dame Shurkey can express . This is very forgettable. im a big fan of Shirleys but dont think many would rate this as one of her best.

    F.... ....

    I disagree with you on your assessment, as I think Dame Shirley did a great job with this song. And, big fans know her name, and if you really have taken time to view and listen to the over 800 performances and recordings that I have uploaded you would see numerous beautiful, soft songs by this lady with great emotion.

  3. K.... M....

    There is another song from this album that is one of my all time favourites. Come In From The Rain.

    Dame Shirley, and as long as you are in NYC, what's another 3200 miles more to also stop in Los Angeles to perform as well. Happy 60th Anniversary!, Regards, Scot

  10. D.... V....

    such a good song... lyrics very familiar:
    "I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
    And fool enough to think that's what I'll find"
    thanx for posting :)

    Karen Carpenter is definiately one of the greats! It was so sad that her life was cut so short for she had so much more to give to the world with her wonderful music. This song written by Richard Carpenter has so much depth and meaning. The great thing about classic songs is that they can be sung/covered by many different artists each bringing their own musical talents and and personalities into the song. I love both Karen's and Shirley's renditions!

    What a great comment!...I just believe that Dame Shirley tunes into Youtube from time to time to read comments from her fans from around the world. She is truely blessed to have fans such as yourself. Regards, Scot
