[Verse 1]

She said, "Every time I close my eyes I feel like I could disappear

I could overflow an ocean with the cavalcade of all my tears

And I know I sound dramatic, but that's just how it feels"

She said, "I'm holdin' to the notion that I'll find something real"


[Chorus]

Yeah, I just want to be wanted, oh

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed, oh

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind

She said I'ma let you in a little tiny secret

We all want to be wanted

She said I'ma let you in it really ain't a secret

We all need to be needed


[Verse 2]

She said, "I'm countin' up my karma and I think it's time to cash it in (Cash it in)

So tired of livin' in a shadow of a mountain of what might've been (Might've been)

And I know I sound dramatic, but that's just how it feels

I've been looking for somebody to tell me that I'm real"


[Chorus]

I just want to be wanted (Oh)

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed (Oh)

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind

She said I'ma let you in a little tiny secret

We all want to be wanted

She said I'ma let you in it really ain't a secret

We all need to be needed


[Bridge]

I just want to be wanted

Oh yeah

We just want to be wanted

Ooh


[Outro]

I just want to be wanted

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
