I Want To Be Loved

I had a roof overhead Had shoes on my feet Yeah, sure I was fed But no one was there when I was in need, yeah So who am I now? Who do you want me to be? I can forgive you but I won't re-live you I ain't the same scared kid I used to be I'm gonna live I'm gonna survive I don't want the world to pass me by I'm gonna dream I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I want to be loved I want to be loved I found a picture Our so-called family tree, yeah I broke all the branches lookin' for answers Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be? I'm gonna live I'm gonna survive I don't want the world to pass me by I'm gonna dream I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I want to give I'm ready to try Willing to lay it on the line I want to be loved I want to be I ain't gonna cry, I don't want to scream But I got so much left unsaid inside of me I'm gonna live I'm gonna survive Don't want the world to pass me by I'm gonna dream I ain't gonna die Thinking my life was just a lie I want to give I'm ready to try Willing to lay it on the line I want to beloved I want to be loved I just want to be love I want to be loved [Repeat: x3] --- I Want to Be Loved - Bon Jovi
