[Verse 1]

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

(Disappear)

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

(All my tears)

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

I just wanna be someone that somebody needs

I just wanna be more than a drop in the sea

I just wanna be

[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 wanna 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

I just wanna be someone that somebody needs

I just wanna be more than a drop in the sea

[Bridge]

I just wanna to be wanted

Oh yeah

We just wanna be wanted

Ooh

[Outro]

I just wanna be wanted

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed

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