Written by susan cowsill Main voice: susan Released on 'continental drifters' (1995) Nobody wants to do it alone And everyone wants a happy home But there's somethin' that no one needs It strangles like a glove Nobody wants a desperate love. Someone to hold your hand And tell your troubles to Someone to hold you when you shake When you're lovin' a heart in two It cuts off all the blood Nobody wants a desperate love. No one showed me how to feel A love that's good and true and real And no one told me how to be And just feel good enough to live. No one showed me how to feel And no one told me how to be And just feel good enough to live. Now all's I'm askin' for Is just a little time To teach my heart a better way To show you just how much And what do you mean to me Maybe then you'll want me to stay. But when you're lovin' a heart in two It cuts off all the blood And there's somethin' that nobody needs Cause it strangles like a glove And when you're standing there looking at me You can bet your stars above I don't wanna be... i ain't gonna be I refuse to be your desperate love.
