Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I want a house that don't leak in the rain
I want a job that don't drive me insane
I want a friend who will laugh at my jokes
I want a world where the kind aren't just broke
Is it too much to ask for the moon
Is it too much to want it soon
[chorus]
Shouldn't I have passionate kisses
Shouldn't I have a love that lasts
Shouldn't I have a little bit of laughter
Before this whole thing passes
Shouldn't I have someone who sees me
Shouldn't I have a little more than less
Is it too much to want happiness
[verse]
I want a mirror that don't lie to me
I want a chance to just be free
I want to write and have somebody read
I want a garden and a little bit of seed
Is it too much to ask of the world
To let a simple dream unfurl
[chorus]
Shouldn't I have passionate kisses
Shouldn't I have a love that lasts
Shouldn't I have a little bit of laughter
Before this whole thing passes
Shouldn't I have someone who sees me
Shouldn't I have a little more than less
Is it too much to want happiness
[bridge]
I'm not asking for a crown or a throne
Just a hand to hold when I'm not alone
Just a little bit of joy in the day
Is that so much to ask, anyway
[chorus]
Shouldn't I have passionate kisses
Shouldn't I have a love that lasts
Shouldn't I have a little bit of laughter
Before this whole thing passes
Shouldn't I have someone who sees me
Shouldn't I have a little more than less
Is it too much to want happiness
