To Be Loved Lyrics

To Be Loved lyrics

Performed by Curtis Stigers) 

  

 Mind your manners 

 Watch your weight 

 Be a good boy 

 Just behave 

 What's wrong with you? 

 Settle down. 

 Keep your two feet on the ground. 

 Stand up straight 

 Sit up tall 

 Never falter 

 Never fall 

 Stay in school 

 Make the grade 

 Never fail 

 And never fade 

  

 Be a hero 

 Be a star 

 Anything but what you are 

 Find a girl to possess 

 Always pay, pursue, protect 

 Be a master 

 Be a slave 

 Work your ass into an early grave 

  

 But you deserve to be loved 

 You deserve something real 

 Time to heal 

 Time to feel 

  

 Daddy's favorite little girl 

 Dress up in your momma's pearls 

 Serve us breakfast in her bed 

 Heard a little kiss on the forehead 

 You are sugar 

 You are spice 

 You are growing up so nice 

 Paint your nails 

 Paint your face 

 Paint around the empty space 

  

 Find a man that can provide 

 Try and fill the hole inside 

 With a family and a home 

 Tell yourself you're not alone 

 Keep your memories of yourself 

 In a shoebox on a closet shelf 

  

 But you deserve to be loved 

 You deserve something real 

 Time to heal 

 Time to feel 

  

 But you deserve to be loved 

 You deserve something real 

 Time to heal 

 Time to feel 

  

 You deserve to be loved 

 You deserve to be loved 

 You deserve to be loved
