Do You Wanna Be Loved
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I took a hold of my destiny.
Ran away ... to find it.
What I didn't realize,
Just what you meant to me inside,
Now I know ... you're gone.
Chorus:
Do you wanna be loved?
Do you wanna be loved?
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Do you wanna be loved?
Do you wanna be loved?
Love will come and time will go.
But there is something you should know.
I can't live ... without you.
Always thought I knew it all.
Your's is not the truth to call.
Anytime ... I'm yours.
Chorus -- 2x
You lost a part of me.
And now you see, I don't wanna be free.
Why does it hurt so much,
To be beloved?
Do you wanna be loved?
You lost a part of me.
And now you see, I don't wanna be free.
Why does it hurt so much,
To be beloved?
Do you wanna be loved?
