Wanna Be Loved - Ben Rector

I think it’s true

That we all live and die

Through everyone else’s eyes

That’s why we need to belong

That’s why my heart beats

When the telephone rings

And why I try to say funny things

It’s why I’m singing this song

Cause we just wanna be loved

We just wanna be loved

And when it’s said and done

There’s no one above

A little love

It’s why it hurts so

When your girl broke your heart

It’s why we want a big house

And nice cars

There’s nothing stronger inside

And we’re no different, woman or man

We’re broken, beautiful and

We only love to get by

Yeah, we just wanna be loved

We just wanna be loved

And when it’s said and done

There’s no one above

A little love

We just want love

It’s nothing above it

It’s what we need

It’s what we seek

And every move

Leads right back to

Our need for acceptance

Our fear of rejection

Oh, a little love

Yeah, that’s what we want

Yeah, that’s what I want

Cause I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved

When it’s said and done

I’ve never been above

A little love

Oh, no, a little love
