I Wanna Be Loved Lyrics

Oooo-ooooh

Oooo-ooooh

I wanna be loved
(oooh)
With inspiration!
(oooh)
I wanna be loved
Starting tonight!
(oooh)

Instead of merely
(oooh)
Holding conversation
(oooh)
Hold me tight!

I wanna be kissed
(aaaah)
Until I tingle!
(aaaah)
I wanna be kissed
(aaaah)
Starting tonight!
(aaaah)

Embrace until
Our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right!

I feel like acting my age!
I'm passed the stage of merely turtle-doving!
(Be careful! Be careful what you do!)
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving!
(oooh)

I wanna be thrilled
(oooh)
To desperation!
(oooh)
I wanna be thrilled
(oooh)
Starting tonight!
(Love me! Love me! Love me!)

With every kind of wonderful sensation!
I wanna be loved!
(aaaah)

I feel like acting my age!
I'm passed the stage of merely turtle-doving!
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving!

I wanna be thrilled to desperation!
(I wanna be thrilled!I wanna be thrilled!)
I wanna be thrilled, starting tonight!
(I wanna be thrilled tonight!)

With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved!

Similar in style to their recent #1 hit “I Can Dream, Can’t I,” this revival of the Johnny Green-Billy Rose-Edward Heyman ballad of 1932 again features a dramatic arrangement by Gordon Jenkins with his chorus and “moaning strings.” Topping the radio airplay chart and reaching #3 on the best-sellers, this turned out to be the trio’s last major record hit.
