Could You Be Loved Lyrics

Say something, say something

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you...oh no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you

Love your brother man

Could you be.... Could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... Could you be loved

Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you ..oh no
We've got a live to live
They say only only only
The fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him the man will never be satisfied

Could you be.... Could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... Could you be loved

Could you be.... Could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... Could you be loved

Say something, say something

Could you be.... Could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... Could you be loved

Could you be.... Could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... Could you be loved

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Joe Cocker’s cover of Bob Marley and the Wailers' classic tune is considered by many to be the definitive cover version of the song. Cocker’s raspy, almost tortured vocal style adds a poignancy to the lyrics that gives the song new dimensions and a completely different vibe than Marley’s original.
