Everybody Wants to Be in Love

Why would a rose so nakedly pose In the hands of a man who already knows Why the woman before him just stares at her toes? Everybody wants to be in love Why do the seasons pass without grieving The loss of the leaves, or the birds and their singing? The hopeful that wait for what spring might be bringing Everybody wants to be in love Everybody wants to be in love Hiding down low where the cold winds blow Under the stone-faced gaze of a man left alone Secretly he waits for his chance to be shown why Everybody wants to be in love How does it feel when the world like a wheel Spins fast under your legs and your hips turn to steel? You rush to find the woman before whom to kneel Everybody wants to be in love Everybody wants to be in love Why does the river's sparkle make you shiver When the woman you're looking to returns all you give her? Two sides of a coin or a face in the mirror Everybody wants to be in love Metaphors in tens spill forth from your pen Frantic to divine the words of great men Before you they sang, and after they will again Everybody wants to be in love Everybody wants to be in love Everybody wants to be in love Everybody wants to be in love
