Needed to Be Loved

(Okay, let's go)

There's no fucking way
That you're ever gonna be too far away
I will always come back for you

It will be damn hard for me too
Baby, to miss you every day
But in no fucking way
Am I gonna let you slip away

Yeah, I could never watch you let me go, so don't you dare
And oh, now I know

I thought I was meant to wait around
For something or someone to lift me from the ground
There were obstacles when I tried to run
If I could I'd make it all undone
It's kinda strange to tell
But finally all these years of living in my head
Can leave and go to hell
'Cause now I know what the problem was
Yeah, for all this time I just needed to be loved

Yeah, I just needed to be loved, oh

Darling, I hope you know
That I'm only leaving 'cause I need some time to grow
It's simply something I have to do

You don't have to worry, no one's just as good as you
And I'm never gonna ever love somebody new
So, I want you to know
I think this time is gonna make me grow

Yeah, I hate leaving you now, babe, I know that it's not fair
And uh, it's true

(Two, three, four)

I thought I was meant to wait around
For something or someone to lift me from the ground
There were obstacles when I tried to run
If I could I'd make it all undone
It's kinda strange to tell
But finally all these years of living in my head
Can leave and go to hell
'Cause now I know what the problem was
Yeah, for all this time I just needed to be loved

Needed to be loved, loved, oh
Needed to be loved, loved

I tried to write songs and then I talked to my friends
I got it all off my chest, but I just needed to be loved
I tried to hold on and then I tried to let go
I didn't know what was right, yeah, I just needed to be loved
I tried to fall deep and then the pain hit me hard
I guess at some point I knew that I just needed to be loved
When you came around, I saw a light in your eyes
And I finally felt like I was loved through you

I thought I was meant to wait around
For something or someone to lift me from the ground
There were obstacles when I tried to run
If I could I'd make it all undone
It's kinda strange to tell
But finally all these years of living in my head
Can leave and go to hell
'Cause now I know what the problem was
Yeah, for all this time I just needed to be loved (Needed to be loved)

Needed to be loved, loved, oh (Oh)
Needed to be loved, loved, yeah
Needed to be loved, loved, oh
Needed to be loved, loved, yeah
