Love To Be Loved Lyrics

Artist: Peter Gabriel
Album: Us

So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go

And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Yes, I love to be loved

I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you
From where you hide

And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved

This old familiar craving
I've been here before, this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe

And I let go [x2]
I can let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cause I love to be loved

Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
[x3]

I love to be loved

I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved

by Gaby on 9/5/2008 2:52am love this song! i believe he's talkin about lettin go of his freedom to be with a loved one...
by Juandiego on 12/1/2008 11:38am I, in the other hand, think that he is facing a inevitable separation from the person he has been together with for a long time. Although it hurts him to do so, it seems that it is something that must happen and thus has to accept it no matter the cost.
by Mac on 12/5/2008 11:10am i disagree. i think he's trying to let go of a relationship that didn't work out.
