Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Don't let them fool you
Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you
Or even try to school you
Oh no
Oh no
We've got a mind of our own
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness that might come out to light
In the darkness that might come out to light
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
The road of life is rocky
The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you
Someone else is judging you
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Don't let them change you
Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you
Or even rearrange you
Oh no
Oh no
We've got a life to live
We've got a life to live
They say
They say
Only (Only)
Only (Only)
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive
Stay alive
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
You ain't gonna miss your water
You ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him
No matter how you treat him
Men will never be satisfied
Men will never be satisfied
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
