I Wanna Be Loved by Dinah Washington

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
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 am past the stage of merely turtledoving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a lovin'

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

Desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved
