Elton John - I Want Love lyrics

I want love, but it's impossible A man like me, so irresponsible A man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated I can't love, shot full of holes Don't feel nothing, i just feel cold Don't feel nothing, just old scars Toughening up around my heart But i want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love i want, i want love I want love on my own terms After everything i've ever learned Me, i carry too much baggage Oh man i've seen so much traffic So bring it on, i've been bruised Don't give me love that's clean and smooth I'm ready for the rougher stuff No sweet romance, i've had enough
