For all those lonely tears I've dried,
Ror all those times there by your side,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
For all those times you worked on me,
For all my helpful remedies,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
For all the special love I gave,
The love your body used to crave,
I should have been loved (5X)
I feel it drifting, it's farther everyday.
In fact I even feel it going away.

It's so sad to see you baby,
'Cause it's to sad to see you go.
Whatever happened to us baby?
'Cause it's so sad to see you go.

For all the times I've held you tight,
For all romantic candle-lights,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
For all those times you got my help
When you were left all by yourself,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
For all the times I said, "My girl,
"My only girl in the whole wide world,"
I should have been loved (5X)
I close my eyes, I look into the light,
And I see everything will be alright.

Repeat Chorus.

For all those kisses on your face,
For all those kisses everyplace,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
For all those cozy holidays,
The ones that used to last for days,
I should have been loved,
I should have been loved.
Your le cantle, your diamond ring,
For nothing less than anything,
I should have been loved (5X)
Don't try to read the writings on the wall
'Cause pretty soon the wall is gonna fall.
