I need so much to be loved, It distracts me from everything else. I have to confess, it makes my life a mess, And it makes me embarrass myself.
I need so much to be loved That I scare them all off one by one. I long for affection in my direction So much that some days I get nothing done. I need so much to be loved That it stops me from having much fun.
I crave so much tender care That if I ever win a girl's hand, She'll loose her love for me when, slowly but surely, She finds out how needy I am.
I ask for more than my share. Oh I know I bleed everyone dry. I must have been cursed to have such a thirst That no one can quench it whatever they try. I need so much to be loved That I end up just making love die. I end up just making love die.
And I can't get to sleep 'Cos I'm too busy wandering who liked me today, And who didn't. I can't stop once I start; I just pull things apart, 'Til the day breaks, and the world wakes, And I rise, knowing still in my heart..
I need so much to be loved. It's no good me pretending I don't. And each time I say, "I'll act different today", I know all too well that I won't.
I need so much to be loved, And I will do as long as I live! Oh if I could just stop and enjoy what I've got I'd be fine, but I can't, so I 'm hell to be with. What sad fate's in store For the man who wants more Than anyone can give? ('..Who wants more. ..than anyone can give?')
