We all wanna be loved   We all want just a little respect   We all wanna be loved   Tell me what's wrong with that      Ooh Somebody tell me!...      A rainy Monday afternoon   There's a funk over the city   Everybody's movin' to a different tune   Some are weak   And some are strong   And some are sittin' pretty   Then there's others who are barely hangin' on      It's no easy situation   People livin' in their separate worlds   But one thing that we've got in common is      CHORUS      We all wanna be loved   We all want just a little respect   We all wanna be loved   Tell me what's wrong with that      I've never heard a dying soul   Wish that he had taken   More time on his portfolio   I swear, I've never heard a Mama say   Should've never had that baby   As a Doctor holds her newborn on display      It's the heavenly prescription   A little bit will go a long , long way   Just put yourself in their position, don't      CHORUS      Faith and hope are worth a mention   But love is holding its position...position      CHORUS
