I Wanna Be Loved - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Why must I be so lonely?

When so many people pass me by Ive been waiting for oh so long now

And yet Im unable to answer why

I cant 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 Im a victim of loneliness

But why should this be my destiny?

A foolish man for a lot of my life

Shouldnt there be someone

Someone for me?

I hope and I pray some happy day

That Ill be around to hear you say

I wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved
