Lyrics
I want to love somebody|With a wide-eyed innocence|No shame, no blame, no worry|’Bout where my heart has been|Lay back let go completely|Like I did when I was a kid||Chorus: I wanna be the child in me|An open book, an easy read|Wearin’ my feelings on the inside out|Can’t be afraid what people say|Live what you love, love every day|With every beat be a little more childlike|Gotta get your heart right|Gotta get your heart rightt| |You can’t love everybody|Everybody can’t love you back|If you think that time is money|Try to buy one minute back|You wasted it on another|Who wouldn’t let you be yourself||Repeat chorus: ||Bridge: You gotta get your heart right| Up against the right heart| When you feel the sparks fly| Then you’re gonna know why||Repeat chorus: ||I want to love somebody|With a wide-eyed innocence|
