Lyrics

I go downtown and roam all around
But every street I walk I find another dead end
I'm on my own but I'm so all alone
I need somebody so I won't have to pretend
I know there's someone just waiting somewhere
I look around for her but she's just not there, oh
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, just like me
I'm running free but I don't want to be
I couldn't take another day like yesterday
I'm dead on my feet from walking the street
I need somebody to help me find my way
I've gotta get outta this town
Before I do I'll take a last look around, no
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, just like me
You know, I'm no different from anybody else
I start each day and I end each night
But it gets real lonely when you're by yourself
Now where is love and who is love, I gotta know
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, just like me
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, just like me
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me, where are you
