Written by Susan Cowsill
Main Voice: SUSAN
Produced by Continental Drifters
Released on 'Continental Drifters' (1995)

Nobody wants to do it alone
And everyone wants a happy home
But there's somethin' that no one needs
It strangles like a glove
Nobody wants a desperate love

Someone to hold your hand
And tell your troubles to
Someone to hold you when you shake
When you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
Nobody wants a desperate love

No one showed me how to feel
A love that's good and true and real
And no one told me how to be
And just feel good enough to live

No one showed me how to feel
And no one told me how to be
And just feel good enough to live

Now all's I'm askin' for
Is just a little time
To teach my heart a better way
To show you just how much
And what do you mean to me
Maybe then you'll want me to stay

But when you're lovin' a heart in two
It cuts off all the blood
And there's somethin' that nobody needs
Cause it strangles like a glove
And when you're standing there looking at me
You can bet your stars above
I don't wanna be...I ain't gonna be
I refuse to be your desperate love
