Just Want to Be Loved
Craving Love: Halvor Holter's Melodic Reflections on the Universal Longing
Lyrics
There you are center stage
Being in the spotlight on stage
Everyone knows your face
Wide recognition and familiarity
Wanting a piece of you and your magic
Desire for attention and admiration for one's special qualities or talents
Oceans of hands reach out
People eagerly reaching out to connect with the person
For a moment you have no doubt
Confidence in self-worth and positive outcomes
That you're worth it, that you're gonna be all right
Belief in personal success and well-being
We just want to be loved
Expressing a universal desire for love
We just want to be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love
We just want to be loved by someone
Specifically desiring love from an individual
We just want to be loved
Repeating the universal need for love
There on the evening news
Anchorman experiencing emotional distress
An anchorman with the blues
Anchorman struggling to maintain composure
Trying to keep it all together
Attempting to hold everything together
Time takes a toll on you
The impact of time on an individual
Trying to remain true
Effort to stay true to one's authentic self despite external pressures
To the one you were before ratings even mattered
Prioritizing personal integrity before fame or success
We just want to be loved
Continued longing for love
We just want to be loved
Reiteration of the desire for love
We just want to be loved by someone
Specifically desiring love from someone
We just want to be loved
Repeating the universal need for love
Yeah want to be loved
Expressing a personal yearning for love
We just want to be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love
We just want to be loved by someone
Specifically desiring love from an individual
We just want to be loved
Repeating the universal need for love
Want to be loved
Direct expression of the desire to be loved
Loved by someone
Emphasizing the yearning for love from someone
There high above the rest
A religious figure who once felt favored
A preacher who once felt blessed
Having a high position but facing challenges
To give all the love he had to god´s children
Previously giving love to others, likely in a religious context
Now there's an emptiness
Feeling a void or lack of fulfillment
It's the preacher's turn to confess
The preacher admitting human flaws and weariness
That he's just a man and he's fed up with just givin'
Frustration with the one-sided nature of giving
We just want to be loved
Continued longing for love
We just want to be loved
Reiteration of the desire for love
We just want to be loved by someone
Specifically desiring love from someone
We just want to be loved
Repeating the universal need for love
Yeah want to be loved
Expressing a personal yearning for love
We just want to be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love
We just want to be loved by someone
Specifically desiring love from an individual
We just want to be loved
Repeating the universal need for love
