Steven Williams - Everybody Wants to be Loved

Standin' on the corner laughing
Acting cool after school
Lightin' up a cigarette
Braggin' while he's takin' bets
He walks into Maggies Market
Hides a beer down in his coat pocket
Looks around and wonders how
He's gonna make out the door
With something' he don't plan to buy
As he slips around back the whole gang hollers
Hey give me five

Everybody wants to be loved
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody needs to be wanted
Everybody wants to be loved

Pulling out the drive waving him goodbye
Pressed for time
Mama left a note that said
Lock the door for you go to bed
Running to her second job
And wondering why she lives this life
Asking where the years have gone
And wishing she could find someone
To tell her everything gonna be all right
As she pulls into the parking lot turns off the car
And starts to cry

Sittin' in a bar down town
Wishing it had all worked out
A man poors his lonely heart out
And buys the house another round
