I Want To Be In Love

Melissa Etheridge · Skin [2001]

Mmm, yeah

I have climbed the highest mountain

I have sailed across the sea

I have wrestled with my demons and woke up with only me

I have been around the block

Three times, maybe four

And I think I deserve just a little more.



In front of total strangers won't you kiss me?

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

Oh-oh, I want to be in love

(I want to be in love

Be in love, be in love)

You're standing on the doorstep in the rain

'Cause you couldn't wait to see me once again

Oh-oh, I want to be in love

(I want to be in love

Be in love).



I have made some big mistakes

And I've paid a heavy price

I've found a little peace between will and sacrifice

I have watched as all my dreams

Went walking out the door

And I think I deserve just a little more.



In front of total strangers won't you kiss me?

(Won't you kiss me?)

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

(But you miss me)

Oh-oh, I want to be in love

(I want to be in love

Be in love, be in love).



I'm looking for a heart of gold

I'm looking for a hand to hold

A happy end

Strong and kind

Somewhere to rest my troubled mind.



In front of total strangers won't you kiss me?

(Won't you kiss me?)

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

(But you miss me)

Oh-oh, I want to be in love.



On Tuesday light the candles, bring me wine

Wednesday morning I won't get to work on time

Oh-oh, I want to be in love

(I want to be in love

Be in love, be in love)

Yeah, surprise me as I'm stepping off the plane

Take my hand as they play our song again

Oh-oh, I want to be in love.



I...wanna be...

In front of total strangers will you kiss me?

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

Oh-oh, I want to be in love

In love, in love, in love, in love...

Oh-oh

(I want to be in love

Be in love, be in love

I want to be in love).
