Lyrics
If You Want To 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.
Make a copy of the key to you front door
Stop sleeping in the middle of the bed
Make room in the bathroom shelf for a new toothbrush
It couldn't hurt, but it might help
If you want to be loved
If you want to be tangled up and driven crazy
Torn and hungry, blessed and aching
Stop making excuses then
You give up something if you want to win
It ain't some big mystery
If you want to be
If you want to be loved
You didn't have time before, now you need to make some
That clock won't stop 'cause you want it to
You make room in the closet
You make room inside yourself
A little space for someone else
If you want to be loved
If you want to be tangled up and driven crazy
Torn and hungry, blessed and aching
Stop making excuses then
You give up something if you want to win
It ain't some big mystery
If you want to be
If you want to be loved
Baby, I'm here waiting on you
Open up, don't think this through
Baby, just like me you want to be loved
Stop making excuses then
Give me your heart if you want to win
I ain't some big mystery
If you want to be
If you want to be loved
If you want to be loved
