I Just 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 just wanna be loved

I just wanna be extraordinary

I'm just your everyday average white guy

On the radio

Whoa-oh-oh

I just wanna be loved

Like the English people love their spliffs and curry

Like a kid loves money from the tooth fairy

Like Tubaka loves Han Solo

Why can't you see

That I'm only

Everything you want?

How come you give

Just enough to

Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,

You're gonna love me someday!

I don't mean to talk so tough,

I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,

I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,

I don't know how to surf,

But I'm really really good at karaoke

Maybe I'm not just an average white guy

Except down there,

In case you care that life's not fair

Why can't you see

That I'm only

Everything you want?

How come you give

Just enough to

Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,

You're gonna love me someday!

I don't mean to talk so tough,

I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,

I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,

Cause you like shiny things,

Like diamond rings,

Sushi and Hybrid cars

Poker chips and Lyso dips

And getting thrown out of bars

I don't care what you say,

You're gonna love me someday!

I don't mean to talk so tough,

I wanna be loved,

You like chocolate ice cream

But you hate your mother!

Can't you see that

You and me were

Made for one another?

I'm your biggest fan

You understand there'll

Never be no other

You're the best girl, that's for sure

I don't care what you say,

I just wanna be loved,

And I don't mean to talk so tough

I just wanna be loved,

I don't care what you say,

I just wanna be loved

And I don't mean to talk so tough

I just wanna be loved,

L- (ugh damn it)
