Alice Ripley - You Should Be Loved lyrics

[JAKE] You should be loved By someone who knows you Wants you to blossom Always is true You should be cherished Like the first sign of springtime You should be loved You should be loved With constant devotion Heart-pounding pa**ion Flooding you through You should be treasured Like a ruby or a diamond You should be loved in the way I love you All through the years I've held oceans inside Held back the tears And the waves and the tide The dam had to burst And the currents collide With a flood of emotion I can no longer hide We should be close As stars are to heaven Shoreline to ocean Birds to the blue We should be coupled With a lifetime connection We should be joined Like we're one and not two Yes, you should be loved In the way I love you [VIOLET] Jake, of course we love each other Like a brother and sister Or mother and child Not in a way that is wild like [JAKE] Haven't you heard what I'm saying? I am in love with you [VIOLET] Oh, Jake Oh no I never thought— Never felt— [JAKE] What I felt? [VIOLET] I never knew [JAKE] Well now you do [VIOLET] You know me better than anyone Except Daisy You've always been more than a friend You know I don't long to see Paris or Rome All that I want is a husband and home [JAKE] I could be both [VIOLET] The world won't let you [JAKE] I don't care about them Only you With love We could rise above The whispers and stares We could challenge the powers of fate We could master a bad circumstance If you give me a chance [JAKE] We should be close As stars are to heaven Shoreline to ocean Birds to the blue We should be coupled With a lifetime connection We should be joined Like we're one and not two Yes, you should be loved [VIOLET] We are close Like a brother and sister Mother and child The world won't let us I know what people do I am loved [JAKE & VIOLET] And in my way I love you [VIOLET] I want to be like everyone else I couldn't bear what they would say If I loved you that way [JAKE] If I can see past your affliction Why can't you see past mine? Why do you care what people might say? Why try to fit into their design? If I had told you your love was a lie Would you have kissed it goodbye? One of these days You will look back in shame After you've learned That a spark's not a flame You will regret how you pushed love aside When you're married to nothing When you're misery's bride You should be loved By someone who wants you Tries to protect you Always comes through You should have chosen The one who supports you Always supports you whatever you do! Yes, you should be loved In the way I love you
