I Wanna Be Loved (1959) Lyrics - Ricky Nelson

I wanna be loved with inspiration, 

I wanna be loved starting tonight. 

Instead of merely holding conversation 

Hold me tight! 

I wanna be loved, I crave affection, 

Those kisses of yours, I'd gladly share, 

I want your eyes to shine in my direction. 

Make me care! 

I want the kind of romance that should be strong 

And equally as tender. 

I only ask for the chance to knowthe meaning 

Of the word "surrender"

NEW SONG: Madonna - 'God Control' - LYRICS 

I wanna be thrilled by only you, dear, 

I wanna be thrilled by your caress. 

I wanna find each dream of mine come true, 

Dear, I wanna be loved! 

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 till our heartbeats intermingle, 

Wrong or right. 

I'm in the mood to adore, 

I'm ready for that well known turtle doving, 

I'm in no mood to resist, 

And I insist the world owes me a loving 

Photos 

I wanna be thrilled to desperation, 

I wanna be thrilled starting tonight. 

With ev'ry kind of wonderful sensation, 

I wanna be loved!
