Wanted

There's a girl in my office

She keeps on stopping

Right in front of my eyes

Though i try and try

I can't hide anymore

Letting my feelings speak for me

But when i try to speak

My tongue gets weak

I stay the lonely man i am

Why should it be

That my heart's under lock

And i can't find the key?

Tell me, why should it seem

That i'm diving inside

Without making a try?

(why oh)

But i only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

But i only want to be wanted

(why oh)

There's a girl in my dreams

Working nights on my scenes

Till she has me in little bits

There's a time and a place

But it moves at a pace

And i can't seem to keep in time

There's a word for the way

But no words could i say

So lonely a man i stay

Why should it be?

I confess that it's hard

Turning hopes into dreams but

Why did i see?

You cocoon yourself nights

Finding soup in your flies

I only want to be wanted

I only want to be wanted

I only want to be wanted

I only want to be wanted

Why should it be

That my heart's under lock

And i can't find the key?

Tell me, why should it seem

That i'm diving inside

Without making a try?

(why oh)

I only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

I only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

I only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

I only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

But i only want to be wanted

(why oh)

(why oh)

I only want to be wanted

(why oh)
