Oh to be loved

OH TO BE LOVED, HOW WOULD IT BE,
FOR SOMEONE AROUND TO LOVE ONLY ME,
I LONG TO BE LOVED, AND I LONG TO BE HELD,
AND FOR SOMEONE TO MEAN IT WHEN "I LOVE YOU" IS SAID.

I KNOW LOVE IS SUCH A SMALL WORD,
BUT WITH SUCH A LARGE MEANING IN THIS HELPLESS WORLD,
MY GREATEST WISH IS TO BE TRULY LOVED,
AND THE LOVE THAT IS GIVEN, IS SENT FROM ABOVE.

THE TEARS OF PAIN THAT FLOW DOWN MY CHEEK,
ARE A FEW OF THE MILLIONS THAT FLOW DOWN MY HEART,
FOR LOVE AND HAPPINESS, FOREVER I'LL SEEK,
AND FOR A HELPING HAND, THAT'LL DO IT'S PART.

OH TO BE LOVED, THOSE WORDS ARE REPEATED,
AND GO ON AND ON INSIDE MY MIND,
I'LL SEARCH FOREVER, TO NOT BE MIS-LEADED,
AND IF I'M LUCKY, LOVE IS WHAT I'LL FIND.
