Wanna Be Loved
Craving Connection: John Legend's Anthem to the Yearning Hearts
Lyrics
Yea they wanna be loved
Expressing the desire for love
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Encouraging or inviting someone to come closer
They wanna be loved
Reiterating the desire for love
Everywhere I go
Observing loneliness in various places
Everywhere I be
Reflecting on being present everywhere
I see lonely hearts and fallen leaves
Noticing individuals with emotional pain and challenges
Where did those hearts go
Raising a question about the fate of those hearts
Do they find their match
Wondering if those hearts find suitable partners
Or do they drift away
Contemplating the possibility of hearts drifting apart
It's time to bring them back
Calling for a collective effort to reunite those hearts
They wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Affirming the universal desire for love
Come on it's simple enough
Emphasizing the simplicity of love
They wanna be loved
Reiterating the universal desire for love
They wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing the wish for love and affection
A little kiss and a hug
Suggesting that a small gesture like a kiss and hug can fulfill the desire for love
They wanna be loved
Reiterating the universal desire for love
Now everybody knows it don't always last
Acknowledging that love may not always endure
But if I can't have it for long then I want it fast
Expressing a preference for brief but intense love experiences
Better love for now then for never at all
Valuing temporary love over no love at all
So baby if you down, then gimee a call
Encouraging someone to reach out for love
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing personal desire for love
Come on it's simple enough
Emphasizing the simplicity of love
I wanna be loved
Reiterating the personal desire for love
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing the wish for love and affection
A little kiss and a hug
Suggesting that a small gesture like a kiss and hug can fulfill the desire for love
I wanna be loved
Reiterating the personal desire for love
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing the desire for love in a simple manner
Come on it's simple enough
Emphasizing the simplicity of love
I wanna be loved
Reiterating the desire for love
I wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing the wish for love and affection
A little kiss and a hug
Suggesting that a small gesture like a kiss and hug can fulfill the desire for love
I wanna be loved
Reiterating the desire for love
Don't you wanna be loved
Posing a question about the listener's desire for love
Sing for love
Encouraging singing as an expression of love
Don't you wanna be loved
Posing a question about the listener's desire for love
You wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Affirming the listener's desire for love
Come on it's simple enough
Emphasizing the simplicity of love
You wanna be loved
Reiterating the listener's desire for love
You wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Expressing the wish for love and affection
A little kiss and a hug
Suggesting that a small gesture like a kiss and hug can fulfill the desire for love
You wanna be loved
Reiterating the listener's desire for love
