I Don't 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.
So alone, you don't know if you can ever win
Your pretty face, stained to hell from all the things you've seen
But you've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
You've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
You said I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
Oh my god, why you bustling bout your neighborhood
Just stand your ground, and don't let no one ever push you down
But you've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
You've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
But you said I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
You've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
