Am I Asking Too Much

You wonder why I'm always so downhearted You always look surprised when my tears fall It's not as if you take my love for granted 'Cause, really, you don't take my love at all Oh, I know you don't love me now But I still feel everything for you Oh, you don't have to love me now You know, I'm not asking for the moon All I need is a tender word I'm not asking for the universe I'm not asking for the way we were All I need is your loving touch Surely, it's not asking too much It doesn't seem so long ago, remember? A day apart would seem like a long, long time A time that we will never quite recapture Even if we both really wanted to try But you're cool, you're so cool now Years have changed the way you look at me Oh, but I'm prepared to wait 'til love's reborn It can be if we wanted to be 'Cause baby, all I need is a tender word I'm not asking for the universe I'm not asking for the way we were All I need is your loving touch Surely, that's not asking too much Oh, I know it won't be easy for you or me You can change your mind for making love But I'm not quite that naïve But we have to try (we have to try) And baby, maybe All I need is a tender word I'm not asking for the universe I'm not asking for the way we were All I need is your loving touch Surely, it's not asking too much Baby, am I asking too much?
