"I Need to be in Love"..?

[smoothie2]

I read this was Karen's favorite songs..why did she feel she needed to be in love? My guess is that she felt life was going too fast for her and she still had not found the right guy and she wanted children and a normal life outside of singing. Did this song come out before or after her marriage?
wow
I
guess
the
caffeine
kicked in and got my brain going
at least I'm having some happy thots now...ha..!

Karen married in 1981 and I Need To Be In Love was released in 1976.

correction...Karen married at the end of August of 1980...and yes, she was longing to be married by the mid 1970's. She was yearning for that husband, kids, white picket fence...although at that weight, it was impossible for her to have kids...that is sooo sad. But a beautiful, aching, simple song.

:)thanks for the replies..it is really tragic that those dreams couldn't be fulfilled as she'd hoped.
