In the song Ce Jeu by Yelle, one line goes "Je ne veux pas d'un amour sans faille," which I understand to mean "I don't want a flawless love." However, the vouloir de is confusing to me. I've never seen that with a noun before.

Why isn't it simply "Je ne veux pas un amour sansans faille"? Why is de needed here?
