Marc Almond: Everything I Wanted Love To Be

(I hoped it would be)
I want love to make me happy
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to make me cry
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a promise
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to make me die

I want love to be a river
I want love to be the wind
I want love to be forever
I want love to be a sin

(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be an arrow
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the heart
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a painting
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the art

I want love to be a building
I want love to be a bridge
I want love to be a castle
I want love to be the edge

(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a window
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the sea
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be real
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a train

I want love to be the magic
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a spell
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be heaven
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be hell

I want love to be the circus
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the fair
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the devil
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be the dare

I want love to make me tender
I want love to make me wild

I want love to be a child

I want love to be a cadalliac
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a ship
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a journey
(I hoped it would be)
I want love to be a trip

I want love
I want love
I want love

gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, some kind of love
(I hoped it would be)
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, some kind of love
(I hoped it would be)

Love,

L.O.V.E
Love isn't everything I hoped it would be
No,no

(I hoped it would be)
(I hoped it would be)
(I hoped it would be)
(I hoped it would be)

Everything I hoped it would be
I wish
I wish
I wish it would be
Everything I want it to be
