To Be Loved
B.J. Thomas · B.J. Thomas: Platinum Artist Series [1977]
Someone to share
Lonely hours and moments of despair
To be loved, to be loved
Oh what a feeling to be loved
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away
To hear from each day
To be love, to be loved
Oh what a feeling to be loved
Some wish to be a king or a queen
Some wish for fortune and fame
But to be, truly, truly, truly loved is
More than all of these things
Someone to kiss
Someone to miss
When you're away to hear from each day
To be loved, to be love, to be love
Oh what a feeling to be loved
To be loved, to be loved, oh what a feeling
To be loved
