i wanna be loved

Elvis Costello

Why must I be so lonely?
When so many people pass me by
I?ve been waiting for oh so long now
And yet I?m unable to answer why
I can?t 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 I?m a victim of loneliness
But why should this be my destiny?
A foolish man for a lot of my life
Shouldn?t there be someone
Someone for me?
I hope and I pray some happy day
That I?ll be around to hear you say
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
