Love to Be Loved

Aah-aah-aah-aah (aah-aah-aah-aah) So... You know how people are When it's all gone much too far The way their minds are made Still... There's something you should know That I could not let show That fear of letting go And in this moment I need to be needed With this darkness all around me I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear I wanna be wanted 'Cause I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes, I love to be loved I cried... The way that babies cry The way they can't deny The way they feel Words... They climb all over you 'Til they uncover you From where you hide And in this moment I need to be needed When my self-esteem is sinking I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear I wanna be wanted 'Cause I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Oh, I love to be loved This old familiar craving I've been here before This way of behaving Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore Let it pass, let it go, let it leave From the deepest place I grieve This time, I believe And I let go And I let go I can let go of it Though it takes all the strength in me And all the world can see I'm losing such a central part of me I can let go of it You know I mean it You know that I mean it I recognize how much I've lost But I cannot face the cost 'Cause I love to be loved Guess, I love to be loved I love to be loved Guess, I love to be loved I love to be loved Guess, I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Guess, I love to be loved
