There's so many people that want to be loved
But you won't lay your finger on another one
There's a conversation that I'd like to discuss
But you don't wanna open your goddamn mouth

I've been workin' things out, I've been slavin' away
I've been sayin' things like "I kept my temper at bay"
And savin' up for
Someone that really wants to be loved
But you're the only pair of hands that I'm thinkin' of

There's so many people that want to be loved
See them walkin' 'round in odd socks
Lookin 'bout as lonely as astronauts
I see them in the graveyards walkin' their dogs
See them in the nightclubs barkin' up the walls
Head in their hands in the bathroom stalls
Standin' like lamposts waitin' for their train to
See them even when I think I'll never see them again

There's so many people and it drives me insane
There's so many people that just want to be loved
There's so many people that just want to be loved
There's so many people that just want to be loved

I've been workin' things out, I've been takin' my time
I've been sayin' things like "yeah, I know you're not mine"
There's so many people that just want to be loved
But you're the only pair of hands I can think of
(That I'm thinkin' of)

There's so many people that want to be loved
See them walkin' 'round in odd socks
Lookin 'bout as lonely as astronauts
I see them in the graveyards walkin' their dogs
I see them in the nightclubs barkin' up the walls
Head in their hands in the bathroom stalls
Standin' like lamposts waitin' for their train to
See them even when I think I'll never see them again

There's so many people and it drives me insane
There's so many people that just want to be loved
There's so many people that just want to be loved
There's so many people that just want to be
