Melissa Etheridge - To Be Loved lyrics

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
