sometimes I feel like an outsider

looking in at my own life

full of hope and full of passion

and just praying for someone to notice

what I have to offer and what I can give

and just hoping that my Mr. Right

will take the time to notice me

and just wanting to be loved

for everything that I am

sometimes I feel so alone

no matter how many people surround me

full of love and full of life

and just dreaming of someone to come along

that can make me feel not so isolated

and that will include me in their life

the way I want to include them in mine

and just wanting them to love me

for everything that I am

sometimes I feel so lost

no matter how satisfied I am

full of creativity and full of desire

and just believing that someone can love me

for everything that I am and that I could be

and for treasuring the thought that it will happen

if I remain patient and sincere in who I am

and for wanting you to realize

that I am everything you need and deserve

As you are to me.
