This lonely heart of mine grows colder every night
And this glass upon my eye falls victim to the light
Stuck in ca-alifornia, world out before ya
But somethin's missin' (somethin's missin')
You should be happy, whatever that means
But something feels different

So wherever you are
Hope you don't take too long
I need a little love in my life
I need a little love in my life

I'm breakin' my own rules (my own rules, my own rules)
You can't hurry things along
So when you need a little love in life
You'll find a little love
Been pushin' love away to save myself the hurt
Ain't much heart left to break so clearly it don't work, work, work

Stuck in ca-alifornia, world out before ya
But somethin's missin' (somethin's missin')
I should be happy, whatever that means
I need anything to make me feel

So wherever you are
Hope you don't take too long
I need a little love in my life
I need a little love in my life

I'm breakin' my own rules (my own rules, my own rules, my own rules)
You can't hurry things along
So when you need a little love in life (little love, little love)
You'll find a little love

Grew up underneath the rising love
Watched it battle through the turbulence
I just wanna feel understood
Patiently, I waited patiently
To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me
Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)
Watched it battle through the turbulence
I just wanna feel understood
Patiently, I waited patiently (mm, mm, mm, mm, mm)
To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me
Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)
Watched it battle through the turbulence
I just wanna feel understood
Patiently, I waited patiently (lay down with me now, mm)
To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me
Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)
Watched it battle through the turbulence
I just wanna feel understood, mm
Patiently, I waited patiently (now)
To share all of my insecurities
First, I really gotta work on me
