(Aaaaahi, byeeee)
    So, you know how people are
  When it's all gone much too far
  The way their minds are made
  Still, there's something you should know
  That I could not let show
  That fear of letting go
    And in this moment, I need to be needed
  With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
  In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
  'Cause I love to be loved
  I love to be loved [x2]
  Yes, I love to be loved
    I cry the way that babies cry
  The way they can't deny
  The way they feel
  Words, they climb all over you
  'Til they uncover you
  From where you hide
    And in this moment, I need to be needed
  When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
  In this emptiness and fear,
  I want to be wanted
  'Cause I love to be loved
  I love to be loved [x2]
  Oh I love to be loved
    This old familiar craving
  I've been here before, this way of behaving
  Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
  Let it pass let it go let it leave
  From the deepest place I grieve
  This time I believe
    And I let go [x2]
  I can let go of it
  Though it takes all the strength in me
  And all the world can see
  I'm losing such a central part of me
  I can let go of it
  You know I mean it
  You know that I mean it
  I recognize how much I've lost
  But I cannot face the cost
  'Cause I love to be loved
    Yes I love to be loved
  I love to be loved
  [x3]
    I love to be loved
  I love to be loved
  Yes I love to be loved
