Close your eyes and I'll make you see me
Turn your back and I'll, make you need me
I just want to be loved by you, loved by you
I just want to be loved
Shut your mouth and I'll make you taste me
Tie your arms around my neck, embrace me
I just want to be love by you, loved by you
I just want to be loved

Chorus
I cannot hide these thoughts inside
One day we're in love now I'm out of my mind
and i've tried to be nice
I've tried to be fair
Now i'm holding you close just to show you I care
It doen't have to be this way
But I'm not begging you to stay!

If I walked away, would you chase me?
Or take my number off your phone and just erase me
Don't you want to be loved by me, loved by me
DOn't you want to be loved?

If I had my way, you would take it
here and now, but out of love, you wouldn't fake it
don't you want to be loved by me, loved by me
don't you want to be loved?

Chorus

Bridge
When you look at me, my heart starts to twinge
When you look at me that way, I feel so unhinged
and there's nothing more that I can do
to try and get it through to you
I've crossed this line, too many times before
But in my heart I couldn't love you more!!

Chorus

It doesn't have to be this way
It doesn't have to be this way
Do you have anything to say?
I guess it has to be this way!
