Lyrics

I WANT TO BE LOVED
(Written by Willie Dixon;
performed by hooyoosay)

The spark in your eye sets my soul on fire.
Your voice is like an angel above.
The touch of your hand drives me insane.
But, baby, I want to be loved.

I'm crazy about ev'ry little thing you do.
I cherish the way you hug.
Your kiss is so sweet, honey, it can't be beat.
But, baby, I want to be loved.

Ev'ry time I ask you for a date
you don't come at all or you're mighty late.
I ask you to dance, take a little spin.
You say: “Wait a minute, daddy, here comes my friend!”.

I love the way you walk when you pass me by.
Even when you try to snug.
You kill me, honey, when you give me the eye.
But, baby, I want to be loved.

Ev'ry time I ask you for a date
you don't come at all or you're mighty late.
I ask you to dance, take a little spin.
You say: “Wait a minute, daddy, here comes my friend!”.

I love the way you walk when you pass me by.
Even when you try to snug.
You kill me, darling, when you give me the eye.
But, baby, I want to be loved.
