I'm optimistic for that kind of love that makes everybody cringe
I say, I want it
I need it
How lucky they are to be in it
You see, I run right past the place you start
I'll give a man nothing or give him my whole heart
Teach me how to let the birds sing
Teach me how to let the bells ring
Cause I'm bending the rules
I'm playing the fool, it softens the sting
Teach me how to ride on love's wings
Teach me not to be afraid of everything
Cause I'm tired of the blues
I want rhythm and grooves
I know I've got to believe
That if sunshine's what I want to see
Then sunshine there will be
I'm a tad simplistic when I speak of the love that takes me back to being a kid
A knight in armor
A snake charmer
Someone rescues you when things get harder
Don't need no fairytale to break my heart
I'll do it all by myself cause I'm so scared to start
Teach me how to let the birds sing
Teach me how to let the bells ring
Cause I'm bending the rules
I'm playing the fool, it softens the sting
Teach me how to ride on love's wings
Teach me not to be afraid of everything
Cause I'm tired of the blues
I want rhythm and grooves
I know I've got to believe
That if sunshine's what I want to see
Then sunshine there will be
