I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of meerly 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

Girl, you funny thing
Don't you know it's spring
Every bench and swing
Discovers lovers
Here we sit and sit
While the moon is lit
Am I feeling happy?
Not a bit

I wanna be loved, with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of meerly holding conversation,
hold me tight
I wanna be kissed, until I tingle
I wanna be kissed, starting tonight
Embrace me till our heartbeats tingle
Wrong or right

I'm in the mood to adore
I'm ready for that well known turtle dovein'
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist
The world owes me a lovin'
I wanna be thrilled to despiration
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
