Everybody Wants It

Here's another song that I wrote in the 80's. I wrote it when I tried in vain to have relationship with a lady in New York. But given the climate of the world today it still is very poignant.

verse 1:
It's something that we long for
And we feel it day and night
It's that thing for which we're livin'
But for some strange reason fight
And we try to justify it sayin', this or that ain't
But alone at night we're cryin'
'Cause we don't have what we like
chorus:
It's love, everybody wants it for themselves
It's love,they say if the had it, that they would flaunt it
But do you love the one you're with...
verse 2:
They say each day is made for living
Treat your first like it's your last
Gotta make a move toward finding love
Stop worryin' about your past
'Cause life is for the finding out
If what's in store's to last
chorus:
It's love, everybody wants it for themselves
It's love, they say if they had it, that they would flaunt it
So would you love the one you're with...
saxophone solo...
bridge:
Well you know love's in your heart
You know you really really care
But while you're lookin' for what you think is real
What's real is standing there...
chorus:
It's love, everybody wants it for themselves
It's love,they say if they had, that they would flaunt it
Now you can love the one your with... yeah.

This is dedicated to Marie Baez...I hope that you found what you're looking for.
