She waits tables faking a smile
Every day and every night
She works hard just to get by.
She can't go on living this way
She dreams of running away
She heads for the bright lights

She wants jets and limousines
Wants her face on magazines
Wants to be a movie queen
And she cries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she cries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved

She arrived with the clothes on her back
It was tough but she never looked back
It felt good for the first time
She pushed hard and she got a break
Right time, right people, right place
Oh yeah, she hit the big time.

She's got jets and limousines
Got her face on magazines
Got to be a movie queen
But she cries, yeah, yeah, yeah
And she cries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved

She got it all, She got the fame
And everybody wants her autograph
Now she wonders why the hell she ain't feeling good inside
Ain't it funny, How the money never seems to buy her happiness?
Ain't it obvious
Everybody Knows
She just wants to be loved

She's got jets and limousines
Got her face on magazines
Got to be a movie queen
But she cries, yeah, yeah, yeah
And she cries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries yeah, yeah, yeah
And she tries
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved
She wants to be loved
'Cos she just wants to be loved
