Take a picture of tonight and
   Keep it by your heart
   Love has left us memories
   There's no better way to part
   I will find another love
   Someone who won't me down
   How you tried to level me
   But you never stood your ground
  
   Fortunately I got wise this time
   Fortunately I had me on my mind
  
   Oh I just want to be loved
   Don't want to fight you baby
   But I'm much too proud to say it loud
  
   I just want to be loved
   Don't want to beg you baby
   But I'm much too proud to say it loud
  
   Take a piece of dignity and
   Use it in your life
   Even though you hurt me
   I still want you to survive
  
   Love was never special
   We were never down
   You will always have someone
   To bring you on the ground
  
   Fortunately I got wise this time
   Fortunately I had me on my mind
  
   Oh I just want to be loved
   Don't want to fight you baby
   But I'm much too proud to say it loud
  
   I just want to be loved
   Don't want to beg you baby
   But I'm much too proud to say it loud
  
   When you love someone
   Don't you know, love is blind
   When you love someone
   It'll be for all time, yeah that's right
  
   Fortunately I got wise this time
   Fortunately I had me on my mind
  
   Oh I just want to be loved
   Don't want to fight you baby
   But I'm much too proud to say it loud
  
   I just want to be loved
   Don't want to beg you baby
   Love me, love me, love me, love me yeah
