Well I have lived the high life
Out here on the town
In my favorite dress with my heart in my chest
You set them up and I will close the place down
And all the lights out in Brooklyn, baby
Well they used to spell out my name.
I could tear up the streets just by tapping my feet
Oh, and then I'd wake up
And do it again
But I've been a flame
In the fire
Swore I could set a blaze to everything I touched
I'd been down to the wire
And now I just want to be loved (2x)

Well it ain't easy, living day by day
So tell me why is a right thing
Always such a rough thing to do?
But you know what they say
Ain't no good running away
And there ain't no one gonna look out for you
And I was a flame in the fire
Though i swore I would never get enough
Been the lied to, and the liar
And now I just want to be loved (2x)
I've had a long day, and I am tired
And now I just want to be loved
