[as performed on American Idol]
I've been cheated and mistreated
When will I be loved
I've been put down and I've been pushed 'round
So when will I be loved
When I find a new man
That I want for life
It always breaks my heart in two
It happens everytime
I've been made blue and I've been lied to
So when will I be loved
Baby, when will I be loved
When will I be loved
Baby, when will I be loved
So Tell me, When will I be loved
