Lyrics I Want to Be Loved - Dinah Washington

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Mmh, hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace me 'til our hearts beat intermingle
Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving, mmh
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

Baby, can't you see, I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

Oh, desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved
