I want to be loved, today
I want to be loved, today
Be happy and gay, in a way
Feel the sun through these walls, and pray:
I want to be loved, today
I want to be loved, today
Share mind with the doves, and say
As the flowers sprout into this world:
I want to be loved, today
I want to be loved, today
From the people who pass by, no sigh
Be seen like a star in the sky.
I want to be loved, today
I want to be loved, today
Let the haters walk away
And the dangers avoid me.
Hey!, I'll say:
I want to be loved, today.
I want to be loved, today.
Be comforted in my own skin
Not worry about being thin
I want to be loved, today
I want to be loved today
Let nothing bad influence my state
Be joyful in my own fate
I want to be loved, today
