[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

[Verse 2]
I guess I'm a victim of loneliness
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

[Chorus]
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

[Outro]
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
