Lyrics Melissa Etheridge

Melissa Etheridge

To Be Loved

Welcome to the planet Earth

Welcome to the heroes' fall

This is a thing called birth

The forgetting you knew it all

This is called your first step

This is called your first time

This is called your first break

The one that locks your mind

The one where you thought

That you died

The one where you screamed

And you cried

I'm still waiting to be loved

I'm still hoping there's enough

The constant wanting to be loved

To be loved

To be loved

To be loved

Welcome to the race of rats

Welcome to eternal blame

The trick is to stay asleep

The key is to play the game

But don't let 'em see you cry

Cover the hole inside

'Cause I'm still waiting to be loved

I'm still hoping there's enough

The constant wanting to be loved

To be loved

To be loved

To be loved

Oh...

Aha...

Welcome to the planet Earth

Welcome to the heroes' call

This is a thing called birth

Come on remember, you knew it all

But there's no love

From someone else

If I can't love myself

And I'm still waiting to be loved

Oh...

I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting, oh...

To be loved

To be loved

I'm still waiting

To be loved

To be loved

To be loved

I'm still waiting

(Woohoo... woohoo...)

I'm still waiting

If I can't love myself

If I can't love myself

I'm still waiting

Waiting

Still waiting

To be loved
