elvis costello – i wanna be loved lyrics

why must i be so lonely
when so many people p-ss me by?
i’ve been waiting for, oh so long now
and yet, i’m unable to answer why
i can’t be made to give up now

can you find room for me
in your heart somehow?
i wanna be loved
i just wanna be loved

i guess, i’m a victim of loneliness
but why should this be my destiny?
a foolish man for a lot of my life
shouldn’t there be someone
someone for me?

i hope and i pray some happy day
that i’ll be around to hear you say
i wanna be loved
i just wanna be loved
