Karla Bonoff & Vince Gill



I've been cheated

Been mistreated

When will I be loved?



I've been put down

I've been pushed round

When will I be loved?



When I find a new girl

That I want for mine

She always breaks my heart in two

It happens everytime.



I've been made blue

I've been lied too

When will I be loved?



When I find a new girl

That I want for mine

She always breaks my heart in two

It happens everytime.



I've been cheated

Been mistreated

When will I be loved?

When will I be loved?

Tell me, when will I be loved?...
