I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry, and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

    i really love this song.. and it sings my heart out.. "I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does" not that nobody loves me but sometimes i feel so unappreciated. even when im surrounded by a lot of people sometimes i can't help but feel so alone.
