Song – All I Want Is Hugs A Lot

All I Want Is Hugs A Lot

by Bob Gibson | Flying Whales & Peacock Tales

All I need is hugs a lot
Hugs a lot, hugs a lot
All I need is hugs a lot
I hope you’ll give me some

Sometimes when I feel afraid
And feel like I have lost my way
I want someone to give me hugs
And tell me that I am okay

All I need is hugs a lot
Hugs a lot, hugs a lot
All I need is hugs a lot
I hope you’ll give me some

Thought I’d failed the baseball team
I felt lower than a rat
My eyes were full of tears of rage
‘Cause I’d struck out each time at bat

Mom thought maybe I was hurt
But I was crying tears of shame
Dad assured me he would show me
How to win that baseball game

Mom and Dad ignored my tears
Told me that I should not cry
Said I’d hit a run next time
Told me I should dry my eyes

All I needed was a hug
That’s what tears are all about
I wanted them to show they loved me
Even if I did strike out

All I needed was a hug
Hugs a lot, hugs a lot
All I need is hugs a lot
I hope you’ll give me some

Once when I was showing off
Doing stuff to get attention
I wanted folks to notice me
At least that was my own intention

I was running in the halls
I knew it was against the rules
But I didn’t care a bit
I thought the rules were made for fools

I turned the corner going fast
And I knocked my teach flat-o-flat
She was very mad at me
Asked me how could I do that

All I needed was a hug
To make me feel like I belong
That’s why I was showing off
It all turned out so very wrong

All I need is hugs a lot
Hugs a lot, hugs a lot
All I need is hugs a lot
I hope you’ll give me some

One morning and it’s time for school
I said I didn’t wanna go
I felt the kids all hated me
That’s a feeling you all know

I begged my folks don’t make me go
I would feel like such a fool
Mom said, “Just ignore those kids”
Dad said, “It’s a lovely school”

Mom said she would call and try
To get my teacher on the phone
And arrange to meet her soon
Or I would have to stay at home

All I needed was a hug
To let me know I was okay
A hug to say how brave I’d be
If I went to school today

All I need is hugs a lot
Hugs a lot, hugs a lot
All I need is hugs a lot
I hope you’ll give me some
