I Want To Be Loved
I - I - I want to be loved
I. - I -- I want to be loved by you baby

I've wanted love all my life/Wasn't really too much to ask
Rejection cut like a knife/A love would start but never last
Then I decided one day/Wanting love just doesn't pay
I threw all love's chances away/A fool was on display

I tried convincing myself/That I was better off' this way
Being hurt by somebody else/Wasn't a game this boy could play
I felt so empty inside/There was no place left to hide
Then you came into my life/You opened up my eyes

I'd lived a lie for some time/Tried to deny the need to feel
False pride was all in my mind/The strength I thought I had was fear
You saw right through my disguise/Tore through my tissue of lies
Your love took me by surpriseYour opened up my eyes

I learned my lesson this time/Leave all this macho behind
‘Cos when you’re hurting inside/Just look it right in the eye
It takes a man to realize/That we need love all the time
