I Need To Be Loved

Well, I'm hungry for lovin',

But I just can't get me none

I tried and I tried,

But I can't find anyone

Won't somebody tell me what the reason can be,

Why no girl wants to give her love to me?

Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved.

Now, most people have it,

And they get it all the time

But I do without it, tell me why can't love be mine?

I tried for so long,

But it's so hard to find

A lover to help me,

It's breakin' my mind

Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved

Well, I spend my time lost and lonely,

Everyday and all night

I don't know how long I can go on,

And I know is it ain't right

Well now, can't find that certain someone,

And I just don't understand

I know out there, there's a girl somewhere,

For such a lonely man

I'll come home this evening

Just like all the nights before,

And I'll be alone

When I walk through my front door

And I'll go to bed 'round a quarter to two,

And I will start cryin' like I always do

Everybody needs something and I need to be loved

Whoa, I need to be loved

Yeah, I need to be loved
