I'm giving myself the silent treatment
Familiarity well it breeds contempt
My anniversary, I always miss
I crossed off me, from my Christmas card list

I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be loved
I wanna be loved by me

I put me in the doghouse
I left me on the shelf
I'm up until the wee hours fighting with myself

Well the teenage me woke up to the evil of the world
When me and me broke up over you guessed it a girl

I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be loved
I wanna be loved by me

The doctors diagnose it the self help folks agree
I cant beat this psychosis till I patch up things with me

Only through love can we create the illusion for a moment that we're not alone 
I think Orson Welles said that no wonder he put on 25 stone

I see these people around me living the life I can only dream of
Happy in their [bad word] cos they're with the one they love

I wanna be loved by me
I wanna be loved by me
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be loved by me
I wanna be loved by me
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be loved by me
I wanna be loved by me
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be loved by me
