To Be Loved - Melissa Etheridge

Welcome to the planet earth

Welcome to the heroes fall

This is a thing called birth

The forgetting you knew it all

This is called your first step

This is called your first time

This is called your first break

The one that locks your mind

The one where you thought that you died

The one where you screamed and you cried

I’m still waiting to be loved

I’m still hoping there’s enough

A constant wanting to be loved

To be loved

To be loved

To be loved

Welcome to the race of rats

Welcome to eternal blame

The trick is to stay asleep

The key is to play the game

But don’t let 'em see you cry

Cover the hole inside

Cuz I’m still waiting to be loved

I’m still hoping there’s enough

The constant wanting to be loved

Welcome to the planet earth

Welcome to the heroes call

This is a thing called birth

C’mon remember you knew it all

There’s no love from someone else

If I can’t love myself

And I’m still waiting

To be loved

Loved

I’m still waiting

I’m still waiting

Oh

To be loved

To be loved

I’m still waiting

To be loved

To be loved

To be loved

I’m still waiting

I’m still waiting

If I can’t love myself

If I can’t love myself

I’m still waiting

Waiting

Still waiting

To be loved
