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

And 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
All 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
