Here is the correct Spanish version: uno quiere para que lo quieran, uno ama para que lo amen.
The verbs querer and amar are in the subjunctive form which may not translate correctly with some translators. You should be able to fill in the blanks.

but is it a set phrase, a saying un dicho? translating I get ' one may want something because they want it, one may love because they love it... but what the heck is he talking about.....
This is just a song and just like all songs the writer likes to create catchy phrases. It's not worth remembering.
If you want to impress people here a great deal learn to speak Spanish correctly. This can be done by buying a grammar book and reviewing it and doing the homework and then reading the news on a daily basis in Spanish. Google translate and news are your friend. Anything less is just tourist Spanish and is only good for ordering things from the colmado and for a few laughs.

Another great site is Linguee at Linguee – Dictionary for German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, English. It has thousands of phrases and idioms taken from actual writings and translates them S-E and E-S.
Take a look at the rest of the lyrics: "uno no da la vida entera pa que le enga?en, pa que le enga?en."
Uno quiere pa que lo quieran, uno ama pa que lo amen = One loves so that others will love him, one loves so that others will love him. When you put your heart into loving someone, the expected response is that they will love you back, not that they will deceive you (enga?arte).
Uno quiere pa que lo quieran, uno ama pa que lo amen = One loves so that others will love him, one loves so that others will love him. When you put your heart into loving someone, the expected response is that they will love you back, not that they will deceive you (enga?arte).
The problem with memorizing phrases, etc., is that when the people respond you can't understand what they are saying.
What he is trying to get across....is.....
Basically,
One loves in order to be loved (Uno quiere pa k lo quieran, uno ama pa k lo amen)
One does not give their whole life to another in order to be deceived (Uno no da la vida entera, pa k lo enganen) (don't know how to make the squiggly over the n)
One of my most favorite songs

He sure does!!!! Thanks for letting me know that I am not the only romantic on this board.
jejejejejejeje
I think the true meaning of this phrase is: when u give regular love you expect to get regular love and in the same way when you love deeply you expect to be loved deeply (back). In spanish we make a slight difference between querer and amar. The first is just a simple way of loving or wanting but the other (amar) is a more deep and intense way of loving. :bunny::bunny::bunny::bunny:
