1. 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
D Em
And in this moment, I need to be needed
D Em
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
D Em
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
C G
'Cause I love to be loved
D Em
I love to be loved
C G
I love to be loved
D Em
Yes, I love to be loved
2. I cry 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 want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Oh I love to be loved
