I Wanna Be Loved (1959)

I wanna be loved with inspiration

I wanna be loved starting tonight

Instead of merely holding conversation

Hold me tight

I wanna be loved, I crave affection

Those kisses of yours, I'd gladly share

I want your eyes to shine in my direction

Make me care

I want the kind of romance that should be strong

And equally as tender

I only ask for the chance to know the meaning

Of the word ?surrender?

I wanna be thrilled by only you, dear

I wanna be thrilled by your caress

I wanna find each dream of mine come true

Dear, I wanna be loved

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 me till our heartbeats intermingle

Wrong or right

I'm in the mood to adore

I'm ready for that well known 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 starting tonight

With every kind of wonderful sensation

I wanna be loved
