Wanna Be Loved

[Produced by Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Doc McKinney]

[Intro]

Yeah, you wanna be loved, yeah

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

You wanna be loved, yeah

Listen

[Verse 1]

Everywhere I go, everywhere I’ll be

I see lonely hearts and falling leaves

Where do those hearts go, do they find their match

Or do they drift away, it’s time to bring them back

[Hook 1]

They wanna be loved, they wanna be loved

Come on, it’s simple enough

They wanna be loved, yeah

They wanna be loved, they wanna be loved

A little piece to the heart

They wanna be loved

[Verse 2]

But everybody knows it don’t always last

But if I can’t have it for long, then I want it fast

Better love for now, than for never at all

So baby, if you’re down, give me a call!

[Hook 2]

I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved

Come on, it’s simple enough

I wanna be loved, yeah

Alright, c'mon

I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved

A little piece to the heart

I wanna be loved

Yeah

[Bridge]

La la la la

Yeah, don’t you wanna be loved

Yeah, sing for love, yeah!

Yeah, don’t you wanna be loved?

[Hook 3]

You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved

Come on, it’s simple enough

You wanna be loved, yeah

Alright

You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved

A little piece to the heart

You wanna be loved, oh yeah!
