I Wanna Be Loved

I Wanna Be Loved - Lena Horne

Written by：Edward Heyman/Billy Rose/Johnny Green

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 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'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 loved

Yes I wanna be loved
