Album: Something Like This (2011)

Wanna Be Loved

I think it's true
That we all live and die
Through everyone else's eyes
That's why we need to belong

That's why my heart beats
When the telephone rings
And why I try to say funny things
It's why I'm singing this song

Cause we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
And when it's said and done
There's no one above
A little love

It's why it hurts so
When your girl broke your heart
It's why we want a big house
And nice cars
There's nothing stronger inside

And we're no different, woman or man
We're broken, beautiful and
We only love to get by

Yeah, we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
And when it's said and done
There's no one above
A little love

We just want love
It's nothing above it
It's what we need
It's what we seek

And every move
Leads right back to
Our need for acceptance
Our fear of rejection

Oh, a little love
Yeah, that's what we want
Yeah, that's what I want

Cause I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
When it's said and done
I've never been above
A little love

Oh, no, a little love
