Lyrics
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
