I Wanna Be Loved

(album: Tell Me Why - 1964)

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
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 starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I wanna be thrilled by only you, dear
I wanna be thrilled, thrilled by your caress
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved

With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved
