Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love Jonathan Richman by Rose Melberg Lyrics

I used to walk all over town, all over town
Pass the street car lights and the reservoir
I used to wonder all up and down, all up and down
Waiting for love from someone, oh yeah
I was waiting for affection
But I was looking in the wrong direction
When I knew there's not so much to be loved as to love
I used to walk all over town, all over town
Pass the street car lights and the reservoir, reservoir
I used to wonder all up and down, all up and down
Waiting for love from someone, a long time
The young man is allowed to you
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love
The young man is allowed to you
But it took me so long to learn
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love
Oh not so much to be loved as to love
