Lyrics
Wanna Be Loved
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think it's true
That we all live and die
Through everyone else's eyes
That's why we need to belong
That's why my heart beats
When the telephone rings
And why I try to say funny things
It's why I'm singing this song
Cause we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
And when it's said and done
There's no one above
A little love
It's why it hurts so
When your girl broke your heart
It's why we want a big house
And nice cars
There's nothing stronger inside
And we're no different, woman or man
We're broken, beautiful and
We only love to get by
Yeah, we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
And when it's said and done
There's no one above
A little love
We just want love
It's nothing above it
It's what we need
It's what we seek
And every move
Leads right back to
Our need for acceptance
Our fear of rejection
Oh, a little love
Yeah, that's what we want
Yeah, that's what I want
Cause I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
When it's said and done
I've never been above
A little love
Oh, no, a little love
