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?
