Why must I be so lonely?
When so many people pass me by Ive been waiting for oh so long now
And yet Im unable to answer why
I cant be made to give up now
Can you find room for me In your heart somehow?
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I guess Im a victim of loneliness
But why should this be my destiny?
A foolish man for a lot of my life
Shouldnt there be someone
Someone for me?
I hope and I pray some happy day
That Ill be around to hear you say
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I’m a late bloomer. I grew up with his music but somehow I never noticed how damn cute/nerdy-sexy EC really is. Damn! I love him. Though based on this video, that would do little for his psyche...still I would love him so hard!
I cried when I was 22 and i cried at 56. And yes i found love, left love, had love walk away and had love die. And here I am wanting to be loved again.
Back in ´84, I was 17, and I tried to immitate Elvis Costello in front of the mirror, but nobody kissed me, but my mother came into the room and she said nothing... Then I loved this song even more until today... Thank You! Love is all you need!
