Wo oh oh oh (need to belong) yeah, (to someone)
m hm hm hm (need to belong)hm hm hm hm hm (to someone)
I need to belong to someone
it hurts to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl
bring love into my world, cause
I need to belong to someone (m hm hm hm hm hm hm)
I wanna be kissed and held tight
want to be missed on a cold lonely night
somebody hear my plea and call out to me, cause
I need to belong to someone
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
no one cares for me, I've never known sympathy
I hide my needs from the world with a smile
but understand, I'm only a man and a man
(needs to belong) yes he does (to someone)
A man hates to be known as no one
will ever some sweet girl, bring love into my world, because
I need to belong to someone
Oh, I hide my needs, from the world with a smile
but understand, I'm only a man, and a man needs (needs to belong)
to belong, (to someone) to someone
a man hates to be known, as no one
Oh send me a girl, to bring love into my world, cause
I need to belong to someone (need to belong) mm (to someone)
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
(need to belong to someone)
Well I wanna belong (need to belong) to somebody (to someone)
just like you (fade) (need to belong)
someone I can tell (to someone)
my troubles to
