Lyrics

Should I have faith in you?

Should I put my trust in you?

And should you let me down?

Should I flirt around

Why should I think this way?

Thinking that you're going away

There ain't no way, we'll stay

Together anymore

Am I to go on now? Living this way

Acting like a child, so young and gay

You don't know, what it means to be loved

You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no!

I've got to tell you this

You're love I've tried to resist

For I just can't go on like this

Pretending each day

You make me feel so mad

You make me feel so sad

Whenever I'm to share your love

So how could I ever go on? Living this way

Acting like a child, so young and gay

You don't know, what it means to be loved

You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no!

I won't come down on you

With lightning brimstone or fire

For in my heart, that isn't what I require

My desire is for you to be true and strong

And then someday you will get to know

Where you went wrong

For how could I ever go on? Living this way

Acting like a child, so young and gay

You don't know, what it means to be hugged

You don't know how it feels, to be loved, oh no!

No, you don't know, what it means to be loved

You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no!

Oh no

No no

You don't know how it feels, to be hugged

I said you
