I Want to Be Wanted
Brenda Lee
(Wanted, wanted)
Alone, so alone that I could cry
I want to be wanted (wanted).
Alone, watching lovers passing by -
I want to be wanted.
When I am kissed, I want his lips to really kiss me.
When we're apart, I want his heart to really miss me.
I want to know he loves me so his eyes are misting.
That's the way - I want to be loved.
Alone, just my lonely heart knows how
I want to be wanted (wanted) - right now
Not tomorrow, but right now.
I want to be wanted.
I want someone to share my love with and my dreams with
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with.
Where is this someone somewhere meant for me?
(Alone) Just my lonely heart knows how
I want to be wanted (Right now) -
Not tomorrow, but right now.
I want to be wanted.
I want someone to share my laughter and my tears with
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with.
Where is this someone somewhere meant for me?
(Someone somewhere) Meant for me.
