Love Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love me, for I need someone to hold me tight
For I feel so lonely tonight
All I ask is that you love me (Love me), love me (Love me)
Love me (Love me), love me (Love me), love me, oh oh
'Til I hear a thousand drums roar
I ask for this and nothing more
All I ask is that you, love me, love me
Oh, I need someone to love me (Love me, love me)

[Bridge]
Oh, love me when I'm sad
Love me when I'm lonely
Love me when I'm glad
And love me only

[Outro]
Just love me, whoa-oh-oh
(With a love that will make time stand still)
'Til we make time stand still
'Til our hearts beat as one, and they will
Beat as one if you'll just love me, love me
Oh, I need someone to love me (Love me), love me (Love me)
I need someone to love me (Love me), love me (Love me)
Mmm, mmm, mmm, love me (Love me), love me (Love me)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
