lyrics

Believe you me
when those his age were children
he was known
for acting like a man
and his passion
toward the girls was legend
casanova, they called him then

After all, all he wanted was to be loved
by someone, who his love did receive
After all, all he wanted was to be loved
by someone, who in him, did believe

The only promise
to us from life is changes
most of which, in the end we can't control
Still we wrestle
through nights of fear and anguish
curse of ages, return my soul

'coz after all, all we want is to be loved
by someone, who our love does receive
After all, all we want is to be loved
by someone, who in us, does believe

Love will starve the hungry coward
a feast that's only for the brave
love will dish the harshest beating
to only those it came to save

Love will starve the hungry coward
a feast that's only for the brave
love will dish the harshest beating
to only those it came to save

(end)
