Lyrics: I Wanna Be Loved
I want to be loved with inspirationI want to be loved starting tonightInstead of merely holding conversationHold me tight
I want to be kissed until I tingleI want to be kissed starting tonightEmbrace until our heartbeats intermingleWrong or right
I feel like acting my ageI’m past the stage of merely turtledoving(Be careful, be careful what you do)I’m in no mood to resistAnd I insist the world owes me a loving
I want to be thrilled to desperationI want to be thrilled starting tonight(Love me, love me, love me)With every kind of wonderful sensationI want to be loved
I feel like acting my ageI’m past the stage of merely turtledovingI’m in no mood to resistAnd I insist the world owes me a loving
I want to be thrilled to desperationI want to be thrilled starting tonightWith every kind of wonderful sensationI want to be loved
