Lyrics

[00:19.11] Heart loud and tall beats like fists on the wall
[00:23.05] She steps through ropes into the ring
[00:27.79] Beautiful, striking, cursing like a Viking
[00:32.04] And prancing with the scowl of a king
[00:37.23] You whom she thought could be trusted got caught
[00:41.11] Little matter if you're not to blame
[00:46.66] Somewhere down there the hurt's to be shoved
[00:50.22] She's put fire to the mattress again
[00:55.97] She just wants to be loved
[01:06.40] Something broke down in a man soft and sound
[01:09.71] He rode city to city by train
[01:15.85] Till a painted lady with heart dark and shady
[01:19.66] Put holes in his jugular vein
[01:24.66] With canines so white that they lit up the night
[01:28.66] Now he's back on the rails again
[01:34.16] Preaching peace with hands that are gloved
[01:37.72] Justifying her criminal deeds
[01:43.54] As the need to be loved
[01:54.85]
[02:25.76] Here's to the hard, fed-up and scarred
[02:30.13] Cold, cast down and out
[02:34.84] Misunderstood, judged no damn good
[02:39.15] Cynic, caught up in doubt
[02:43.71] The truth anymore is not what they're here for
[02:47.84] You can't manipulate the facts
[02:53.34] They praise distant gods above
[02:56.96] And deny what never has lacked
[03:03.21] Oh to be loved
[03:07.60] The need to be loved
[03:11.69] She just wants to be loved back
