The Winans
You Just Don’t Wanna Be Loved
[Verse 1]
If you turn your head away
After hearing what I've said
You refuse to take My hand
Then I'll understand
You just don't wanna be loved

If you turn away My gift
To follow after the myth
If you'd rather be deceived
Then I must believe
You just don't wanna be loved

If you turn away the light
Just to walk in the night
I haven't heard a verbal no
But your actions show
You just don't wanna be loved

You disregard all My calls
As if I hadn't called at all
When all the time I know you hear
Makes Me really fear
You just don't wanna be loved

[Chorus]
Oh, with love and kindness I'll draw
And with goodness I will lead
With My blood I'll wash away all iniquity
So come and take My hand
I will lead you all the way
For tomorrows so much brighter
Than your yesterday
(So much brighter than your yesterday)

[Verse 2]
I tried with you in every place
But your response is still the same
It seems all in vain
You just don't wanna be loved

You always seem to hide
The emptiness inside
I will set you free
If you turn to Me, but
You just don't wanna be loved

[Chorus]
Oh, with love and kindness I'll draw
And with goodness I will lead
With My blood I'll wash away all iniquity
So come and take My hand
I will lead you all the way
Your tomorrows will be much brighter than your yesterday
(So much brighter than your yesterday)

[Verse 3]
How much longer must I wait?
If there's no way, no how
You must tell Me now
You just don't wanna be loved

[Bridge]
Oh my Lord
Just don't wanna be loved
Why won't you let Jesus (love you)
(You turn Him away)
Just don't wanna be loved
(I don't understand)
Just don't wanna be loved
Why won't you let Jesus (love you)
Oh, oh, oh, let Him love you
For the day, let Him (love you)
I know you need His love, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I know you need His love)
You can't deny it
(You got to have His love)
Why won't you try Him
For I know you need His love
I know you wanna be loved
Let Jesus love you
(I know you need His love)
Give you a second chance
(You got to have His love)
A cause to sing and a reason to dance
For I know you need
(I know you wanna be loved)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I know you need His love)
I know you need His love
(You got to have His love)
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
(I know you wanna be loved)
Let Jesus love you
(I know you need His love)
