Be bland be dull, be boring
Be really, really, y’know
Nothing, void, zilch, zero, nought, nothing, vacuum
Be in love
We wanted to be loved
We, we wanted to be loved
We, we only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved

Huh, ha ha ha, oh no
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved (love)
We only wanted to be loved (love)
Love, oh love, love
Love makes the world go round (we-)
We only wanted to finish the album with as minimum amount of effort which we are now doing very successfully

We only wanted to be loved
We only, love
We wanted to be accepted by society
We wanted to be accepted
We wanted to be accepted as people
We wanted to be accepted as people
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
Love
Love
Love
We wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
I'm just gonna go and get a cigarette, do you want one?
Yes please
Won't be a second
Okay

Be bland, be dull
Be boring, be in love

Only wanted to be loved
Only wanted to be loved
Only wanted to be loved
Only wanted to be loved
Love
Loved
Love

Every time I walk up and down the street
I look at people and I think why don't you love me
Why don't you love me
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
Oh, thank you, wrong end

I'm in love
2, 3, 4
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We need love
We need love like the water we drink
Like the air we breathe, luvy
You know what I mean, like where I come from
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
Only wanted to be loved
Only wanted to be loved
Only love can satisfy us
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
No one understands us
Nobody cares
No one loves us
Love makes the world go round
Oh, it does that as well without any mistake whatsoever
Love does make the world go round
I don't know what these punk rockers get up to
Y'know these punk rockers with their spitting and their antics
Don't they realise that love makes the world go around
Don't these punk rockers realise
Realise that love makes the world go around
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
Fuckin' hell thirsty work in'it being famous
This track is dragging on, y'know?
Do you think it'll ever end?
[?]
One more time?
What did you think of the engineer looking through that glass window?
I think he's rather suspicious
He looks very suspicious to me
Very dubious guy with that long haired hippy roadie next to him
I think these long haired chaps
I don't really think much of them, but don't you like their jokes?
They don't realise that
Love makes the world go 'round

We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved
We only wanted to be loved

I will show our frustration at society
By picking up that fire extinguisher over there
And spraying it at the mic

We only wanted to be loved
It's true
Oh no, oh yes!
We only wanted to be loved
Go on John, tickle the old Joanna [?]
We only wanted to be loved
Loved, loved, loved, loved
