WRITER'S NOTES:

I came to the conclusion that in order to make it in the music business, that I would have to write songs for other people to sing.  This song was supposed to be sung by a female.  I'm not sure who I had in mind. 

Not everything in my marrage went perfectly.  Sometimes I got that feeling that my wife didn't really love me.  And this was a pretty typical song theme that women would sing, so I allowed my feelings to wander through the impression that my wife could't get herself to love me.  (It wasn't true of course, but if you've been married, you probably have gone through the same thing at times).

So, I let fester these feelings until I came up with the idea that I wasn't asking for much.  I just wanted to be loved.  I still get those feelings now and then when I am feeling particularly lonely.  I think pretty much anyone can relate to the song.
