It Doesn't have to be this way

Close your eyes and I'll make you see me

Turn your back and I'll, make you need me

I just want to be loved by you, loved by you

I just want to be loved

Shut your mouth and I'll make you taste me

Tie your arms around my neck, embrace me

I just want to be love by you, loved by you

I just want to be loved

Chorus

I cannot hide these thoughts inside

One day we're in love now I'm out of my mind

and i've tried to be nice

I've tried to be fair

Now i'm holding you close just to show you I care

It doen't have to be this way

But I'm not begging you to stay!

If I walked away, would you chase me?

Or take my number off your phone and just erase me

Don't you want to be loved by me, loved by me

DOn't you want to be loved?

If I had my way, you would take it

here and now, but out of love, you wouldn't fake it

don't you want to be loved by me, loved by me

don't you want to be loved?

Chorus

Bridge

When you look at me, my heart starts to twinge

When you look at me that way, I feel so unhinged

and there's nothing more that I can do

to try and get it through to you

I've crossed this line, too many times before

But in my heart I couldn't love you more!!

Chorus

It doesn't have to be this way

It doesn't have to be this way

Do you have anything to say?

I guess it has to be this way!
