I Wanna Be Loved

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Love once left me cold and gray

I had almost reached heaven

Just to feel it slip away

But life's too short to waste away

Being scared to take chances

Or so I've heard wise men say

I wanna be loved

Faithful and true

I wanna be loved

Ten million lifetimes with you

I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through

I'll let my heart take it's chances, just to be loved by you

Taste, touch, hear, see, feel me now girl

And you'll know I'm so ready

To exchange lifelong vows, yes I am

'Cause now you've shown me how God has smiled

On this chance and this moment

For this I've prayed all my life

I wanna be loved

Faithful and true

I wanna be loved

Ten million lifetimes with you girl

I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through

I'll let my heart take its chances, just to be loved by you

I wanna feel there's a reason for living again

I want us to fly far away

And I want my heart to sing the words only you can understand

So put your hand in mine, say a prayer tonight

So that we may find love

I wanna be loved

I want to be faithful and true

I wanna be loved

Ten million lifetimes with you baby

I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through

I'll let my heart take its chances, just to be loved by you

I want to be loved

Faithful and true

I want to be loved

Ten billion lifetimes, ten zillion, ten trillion lifetimes baby

And after all I've been through

I'll let my heart take a chance just to be loved by you

I'll let my heart take a chance just to be loved by you
