I want love

I think that Mr. Elton John sums it up for me best with his song "I want love". In case you haven't seen the music video, Robert Downey Jr. lip synchs to the lyrics while walking around an old house. I really enjoy the video's simplicity. It gives you more opportunity to sit back and really take it what's being said or in this case sung. I guess I'm just in one of those weird moods today.

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 bring 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.

But I want love, just a different kind.
I want love, won't bring 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.

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.
A man like me is dead in places other men feel liberated.

But I want love, just a different kind.
I want love, won't bring me down.
Won't break 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 just want to mean something to someone. But it has to be the right something and the right someone.
