Lyrics

There once was a time when I thought if I had a house, I'd be happy

There once was a time when I thought if I had a car, I'd be made

One by one I achieved my ambitions

But didn't feel like I wanted to feel

Didn't feel like I wanted it to feel

I didn't feel like I wanted to feel

I needed a comfort of love

Any place and anytime

I needed a comfort of love

Just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh

I long for the time when the world is a better place, to be happy

I long for the day when the people who went to sleep, will awake

One by one I improved my conditions

But it doesn't feel like I wanted to feel

Doesn't feel like I wanted it to feel

Doesn't feel like I wanted to feel

I needed the comfort of love

Any place and anytime

I need the comfort of love

To just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh

I needed a comfort of love

Any place and anytime

I needed a comfort of love

To just to get me some piece of mind

Well, I needed the comfort

I needed the comfort

I needed the comfort of love

I needed the comfort

I needed the comfort

I needed the comfort of love
