Jonathan Richman Not So Much To Be Loved As To Love
I used to walk all over town
All over town
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for love from someone
I was waiting for affection
But I was looking in the wrong direction
What I needed was not so much to be loved as to love
I used to walk all over town
All over town
Past the streetcar lines and the reservoir
I used to wander all up and down
All up and down
Waiting for someone to love
A long time
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love
A young man is allowed to yearn
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love
Not so much to be loved as to love
