Peter Gabriel - Love to Be Loved lyrics

[Peter Gabriel - Love to Be Loved lyrics]

So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go

And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me
I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved i love to be loved
I love to be loved yes, I love to be loved

I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny the way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
Until they uncover you from where you hide

And in this moment, I need to be needed


When my self-esteem is sinking
I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved i love to be loved
I love to be loved oh, I love to be loved

This old familiar craving
I've been here before, this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe and I let go
And I let go i can let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can let go of it you know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
Because I love to be loved

Yes I love to be loved i love to be loved
I love to be loved i love to be loved
I love to be loved i love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
