I don't want to fall in love
So girl, we'll start to pretend it
All I need is to be loved
Like a blessing from above
You know you gotta be loved
You know you gotta be loved
You know, you gotta be loved
You know, you gotta be loved
From the moment that I saw you
It's like joy to sore eyes
I've found more joy and tears
than I ever dreamed could be
You know you gotta be loved
You know you gotta be loved
And you know you gotta be loved
You know you got the love,
I love you in my special way
Like roses amidst the rain,
I can hear you calling out my name
I'm so glad you feel the same, for me
Let me hold you in my arms
Let me keep you safe and warm
You know you gotta be loved
You know you gotta be loved
Honey, I love you and I'll love you forever
And my heart beats only for you
Oh, you love me when I touch you
Let me hold you in my arms
I love you in a special way
You know you gotta be loved
You know you gotta be loved by me
And you know you gotta be loved
Boy I loved you when I thought you,
Let me hold you and love you
And I'll love you forever
You're the beat of my heart
I love you in a special way
