Artist/Band: Peter Gabriel
Lyrics for Song: Love To Be Loved
Lyrics for Album: Us [1992]



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 in moment, I need to be needed

With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked

In this emptyness and fear, I wanna 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 the babies cry

The way they can't deny the way they feel

Words, they climb all over you

'Till 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 emptyness and fear, I wanna 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 then I let go, and then I let go

I can't 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't 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

Cause I love to be loved, yes, I love to be loved

I love to be loved, yes, I love to be loved

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, yes, I love to be loved
