Jo Dee Messina - Just To Be Loved

Here's a story 'bout a girl I used to know
She was living free to chase her dreams
A fearless soul
'Til the door swung open to the world out there
Social feeds, likes on a screen, she can't compare

Then it got complicated
That girl, she started hating
Things that made her beautiful
Started changing who she was

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Don't be somebody else to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved

Well, you're perfect, you're priceless
There's nobody that can deny it
Don't be somebody you're not
Just to be loved

You look around at everybody's highlight reels
Picture perfect, pretty lies it makes you feel like
Your life is underrated
You get lost when you start chasing
Everything you think you're missing
But think what you've been missing

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Don't be somebody else to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved

Well, you're perfect, you're priceless
There's nobody that can deny it
Don't be somebody you're not
Just to be loved

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved (just to be loved)
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved

You're loved just the way you are
Beautiful just the way you are
Don't change who you really are

You're loved just the way you are
Beautiful just the way you are
Don't change who you really are
Just to be loved

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved (oh)

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Don't be somebody else to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved

Well, you're perfect, you're priceless
There's nobody that can deny it
Don't be somebody you're not
Just to be loved

Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved (ooh) (just to be loved)
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved
Just to be loved (ooh)
