The Proclaimers - Should Have Been Loved lyrics

You've been let down, messed around Told to get your feet back on the ground When you should have been loved, loved, loved Should have been loved You've been ripped off, written off Told an act of kindness made you soft When you should have been loved, loved, loved You should have been loved But all your detractors underestimated you Cause they don't know you like I do You've slept rough, stolen stuff Been beaten by a guy to show he's though When you should have been loved, loved, loved Should have been loved And anything new you tried to do Got treated like a jumper in a queue When you should have been loved, loved, loved Should have been loved But when there was pity and when there was wealth You wasted neither on yourself Should have been loved, Should have been loved Should have been loved, Should have been loved Should have been loved, Should have been loved Should have been loved, Should have been loved All your detractors underestimated you Cause they don't know you like I do, like I do You've been let down, messed around Told to get your feet back on the ground When you should have been loved, loved, loved
