Everybody's waiting for a break
Like fast cars and freedom
Everybody wants the same old things
Tell me what will it bring
My friend, I'm tired of being this way
I'm tired of running astray
Oh God, I need to know you're still above

I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

They say that faith can move a mountain
But I'm built for the climb
So tell me am I faithful or just too stubborn
Tell me what will I find
At the peak at the top at the end of the line
And at the end of my life
Oh, tell me how my climb will be judged

I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

I've been afraid
And I've been alone
Sometimes I need someone to pick up the phone
I'm tired of the leaving
I need a home

Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

And I want someone to want me
I want somebody there
And I need someone to need me
I need someone who cares
