Lyrics I Wanna Be Loved - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

I Wanna Be Loved

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
