I think it's true
That we all live and die
Through everyone else's eyes

That's why we need to belong

That's why my heart beats

When the telephone rings
And why I try to say funny things
It's why I'm singing this song


Cause we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved

And when it's said and done
There's no one above
A little love


It's why it hurts so
When your girl broke your heart

It's why we want a big house
And nice cars
There's nothing stronger inside


And we're no different, woman or man
We're broken, beautiful and

We only love to get by

Yeah, we just wanna be loved

We just wanna be loved
And when it's said and done
There's no one above

A little love

We just want love

It's nothing above it
It's what we need
It's what we seek


And every move
Leads right back to

Our need for acceptance
Our fear of rejection


Oh, a little love
Yeah, that's what we want
Yeah, that's what I want


Cause I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

When it's said and done
I've never been above
A little love


Oh, no, a little love
