Elvis Costello - I Wanna Be Loved lyrics

Why must I be so lonely?

When so many people pass me by

I've been waiting for oh so long now

And yet I'm unable to answer why

I can't be made to give up now

Can you find room for me

in your heart somehow?

I wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved

I guess I'm a victim of loneliness

But why should this be my destiny?

A foolish man for a lot of my life

Shouldn't there be someone

Someone for me?

I hope and I pray some happy day

That I'll be around to hear you say

I wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved
