Yolanda Adams - Can I Love Somebody The Way I Wanna Be Loved Lyrics

My heart's on fire
Longing for a love that feels like home
'Cause I desire
A spiritual love
That I can call my own

Am I conflicted by the things I see?
Am I worthy of all that love should be?
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved
'Cause I wanna be loved

True love is divine
If I could only dare to take a chance
It's more than romance
'Cause flowers fade, but the love should still remain

There has to be a purpose for all this pain
Trade the love I give for the joy I'd gain
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved
'Cause I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
Loved

No more neglecting love
I'm respecting love
'Cause I treated it selfishly
What if the very love
I've been looking for
Was preparing patiently
Waiting for me?

There has to be a purpose for all this pain
Trade the love I give for the joy I'd gain
Can I love somebody the way I wanna be loved?
Loved
'Cause I wanna be loved
Don't let me get in the way
Of love
