I Wanna Be Loved - Billy Eckstine

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!
