I Want To Be Wanted
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.
Alone, so alone, that I could cry
I want to be wanted
Alone, watching lovers passing by
I want to be wanted
When I'm 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 misty
That's the way I want to be loved
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
When is this someone somewhere meant for me
I want to want someone to share my laughter and my tears with
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with
When is this someone somewhere meant for me
Oh, meant for me, ooh, meant for me
