Lyrics

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Don’t let them fool you

or e ven try to school you,

oh, no.

We’ve got a mind of our own.

So, go to (F)hell if what you’re (Em)think in’ is n’t (Dm)right.

They say

on ly, Love would nev er leave us a lone.

ly, on In the (Em)dark test ness there must come out to (G)light.

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

The road of life is rock y and you may stum ble too.

So while you point your fin gers, some one else is judg in’ 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, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?

(G)Stay a live, oh.

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

You (Am)ain’t gon na miss your wa ter un til your well runs dry.

No mat ter how you treat him, the man will nev er be sat is fied.

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, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
