I WANT TO BE LOVED

I had a roof overhead Had shoes on my feet Yeah, sure I was fed But no one was there when I was in need, yeah So who am I now? Who do you want me to be? I can forgive you but I won't re-live you I ain't the same scared kid I used to be I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive I don't want the world to pass me by I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I wanna be loved I wanna be loved I found a picture Our so-called family tree, yeah I broke all the branches lookin' for answers Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be? I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive I don't want the world to pass me by I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I wanna give, I'm ready to try Willing to lay it on the line I wanna be loved I wanna be... I ain't gonna cry; I don't wanna scream But I got so much left unsaid inside of me I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive Don't want the world to pass me by I'm wanna dream, I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I wanna give, I'm ready to try Willing to lay it on the line I wanna be loved I wanna be loved I just wanna be loved I wanna be loved I wanna be loved I wanna be loved
