There's a girl I wanna hate 'Cause she's loud and she's pretty And she steals all the attention Every time that she's with me She lays there at night In a bed made of broken trust She just wants to be loved There's a guy I used to date A bad boy from the city Put holes in girl's hearts Like a psycho with a gun But he's got one in his And that's why he does what he does She just wants to be loved, loved Yeah, the older I get The clearer I see That we do what we do 'Cause we need what we need And we've all got the same Longing inside of us We hating, chasing, and hurting each other because We just wanna be loved Then there's me, I'm a risk Don't care enough to lose it If I fail, so be it I'm still worthy, but the truth is I wonder every day if I'm enough I just wanna be loved Oh, the older I get The clearer I see That we do what we do 'Cause we need what we need And we've all got the same Longing inside of us We're hating, chasing, and hurting each other because We just wanna be loved Loved, loved, loved I wanna be loved And you wanna be loved And we wanna be loved I see it now for what it is, and what it was, oh We just wanna be loved
