I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED <\/p>\n

I just want to be loved,
\nIs it really too much to ask?
\nHas your heart grown so cold,
\nIt’s become a difficult task?<\/p>\n

We used to have a great love,
\nWhich united us both as one,
\nWhere did we get sidetracked,
\nSo that our love became undone?<\/p>\n

I long for days of sweetness,
\nYour embrace holding me so near,
\nPlease don’t give up on us baby,
\nI’m still in love with you dear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
