From the recording I WANT TO BE LOVED
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
While walking down the street, just the other day,
I saw a guy who looked so sweet, and he looked my way.
I really thought it was strange, like a spark from above,
He was a prince who was in my range, could he be the one I’d love?
[Chorus]
I want to be loved; [Lead] I didn't think it could happen this way.
I want to be loved; [Lead] Is he the man I need to love me?
[Verse 2]
Didn’t think it could be this day; the man I needed came my way,
He stopped and looked at me, with a smile that felt like play.
He said, 'I am here to fulfill your dreams,' oh how my heart took flight,
In his eyes, I saw the beams, illuminating my night.
[Chorus]
I want to be loved; [Lead] I didn't think it could happen this way.
I want to be loved; [Lead] Is he the man I need to love me?
[Bridge]
Is this a dream? Is this for real?
I don't have time for make-believe.
Lord, please let this be for real! Yes!
[Chorus]
I want to be loved; [Lead] I didn't think it could happen this way.
I want to be loved; [Lead] Is he the man I need to love me?
[Verse 3]
He stopped; we talked and we walked away,
He wanted to meet, to know my name, let’s seize the day.
He introduced himself, and I felt the flame,
He said, 'We can take it slow, and see how God leads,' no shame.
[Chorus]
I want to be loved; [Lead] I didn't think it could happen this way.
I want to be loved; [Lead] He is the man God sent to find me.
[Outro]
Fade: I want to be loved; I want to be loved; I want to be loved.
