Be bland, be dull, be boring

Be really, really, y'know

Nothing, void, zilch, zero, nought, nothing, vacuum

Be in love

We wanted to be loved

We, we wanted to be loved

We, we only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

Huh, ha ha ha, oh no

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved (love)

We only wanted to be loved (love)

Love, oh love, love

Love makes the world go round (we-)

We only wanted to finish the album with as minimum amount of effort which we are now doing very successfully

We only wanted to be loved

We only, love

We wanted to be accepted by society

We wanted to be accepted

We wanted to be accepted as people

We wanted to be accepted as people

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

Love

Love

Love

We wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

I'm just gonna go and get a cigarette, do you want one?

Yes please

Won't be a second

Okay

Be bland, be dull

Be boring, be in love

Only wanted to be loved

Only wanted to be loved

Only wanted to be loved

Only wanted to be loved

Love

Loved

Love

Every time I walk up and down the street

I look at people and I think why don't you love me

Why don't you love me

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

Oh, thank you, wrong end

I'm in love

2, 3, 4

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We need love

We need love like the water we drink

Like the air we breathe, luvy

You know what I mean, like where I come from

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

Only wanted to be loved

Only wanted to be loved

Only love can satisfy us

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

No one understands us

Nobody cares

No one loves us

Love makes the world go round

Oh, it does that as well without any mistake whatsoever

Love does make the world go round

I don't know what these punk rockers get up to

Y'know these punk rockers with their spitting and their antics

Don't they realise that love makes the world go around

Don't these punk rockers realise

Realise that love, that love, that love, makes the world go around

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

Ugh, fuckin' hell, thirsty work, in'it being famous

Oh, this track is dragging on, y'know?

Ugh! Do you think it'll ever end?

Taking ages, you know what I mean, babydoll?

One more time?

What do you think of the engineer looking through that glass window?

I think he's rather suspicious

He looks very suspicious to me

Very dubious guy with that long haired hippy roadie next to him

I think these long haired chaps

I don't really think much of them, but don't you like their jokes?

They don't realise that

Love makes the world go 'round!

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

We only wanted to be loved

I will show our frustration at society

By picking up that fire extinguisher over there

And spraying it at the mic

We only wanted to be loved

It's true

Oh no, oh yes!

We only wanted to be loved

Go on John, tickle the old Joanna

We only wanted to be loved

Loved, loved, loved, loved
