I Asked For Love Lyrics

There might be a question
That you ask before too long
I won't have the answer
But I promise to be stronger

You lied to me, you lied to me
Like I was some fool, yes you did
You lied to me, you cried for me
I told you to keep your cool

I asked for love
But your love has gone
I asked for love
But your love has gone

I asked for love
But your love has gone
I asked for love
And to be strong, to be stronger

There was a time
I felt no shame
In asking please, please me
But your rejection

Has brought me to my knees
You lied to me, you lied to me
Like I was some fool, yes you did
You lied to me, but that's history

I told you to keep your cool
I asked for love
But your love has gone
I asked for love

But your love has gone
I asked for love
But your love has gone
I asked for love

And to be strong, to be stronger
All the people
Are ready to hold your hand
All the people

Are ready to understand
The things you do
I asked for love
But your love has gone

I asked for love
But your love has gone
I asked for love
But your love has gone

I asked for love
And to be strong, to be stronger

I asked for love
And to be strong, to be stronger

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
