To Be Loved

[Verse 1]
Raindrops, they fall over the rooftops in Calabasas
Somewhere in the world
The prettiest girls trade in their beautiful to find a happiness
Just like an only child, you never had somebody stay a while
You're caught up in your ways, prescriptions for the pain
But it's never too late

[Pre-Chorus 1]
To let me hold you, let me hold you for the first time
Everybody needs love on a cold night
When you're starin' at the wall 'cause you can't cry
You can just hit my line
Early phonin' just to talk about nothin'
Favorite channel, which celebrity's your cousin?
I'm not rushin', but when you need some lovin'

[Chorus]
Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved

[Post-Chorus]
Wanna be there, I'll be there
Wanna be there, can I be there?
When you're ready to be loved

[Verse 2]
Been takin' time on it, time on it
All of my mind on it, mind on it
Spend my last dime on it, dime on it
Credit card won't decline on us
Pull up a chair, let's take a train
Not talkin' liquor, I need your thing
Thinkin' clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly
Don't need your hands to feel me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't need hands to touch you
Know you got trust issues
I won't ever rush it
I won't ever rush you, no
I won't ever have to rush it

[Chorus]
Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved

[Post-Chorus]
Wanna be there (I wanna be there, yeah), I'll be there
Wanna be there (I wanna be there), can I be there?
When you're ready to be loved

[Outro]
Un amour, avec amour
Cette année je suis tombé amoureux de l'amour
Et ce n'était ni une femme ni un homme
Et on étaient pas you too
Il n'était pas gay et je n'étais pas casserole
Je ne l'ai pas jugé à l'homme de la couleur à l'arrière de demain
Peu importe le mélange, noir, blanc, marron
C'est à dire, sac de papier bronzer
Cet amour était plus grand que toute guerre religieuse interne
Que j'étais perdu mais pas encore au dessus, the great I am
Et comme Dieu c'est juste ce que c'est, indéfini par l'Homme
