1. A LOVE TO KNOW
By: Marisol D. Villarosa
I love to know you’re sad
If I’m the only way to make you feel glad
I love to know you’re happy
Whenever you’re in my custody
I love to know you care
In time when I’m depressed
I love to know you want me
‘Coz that would make me feel so merry
I love to know you wanna hold me
‘Coz that’s the way I wanted to be
I love to know you feel me
That’s the reason why I still live
I love to know you need me
Everytime you say you love
‘Coz everytime you say you love me
That’s the time I am the real me.
