Lyrics

  1. I know that I seem very bold
    But I feel sad and blue
    My beau and I, we had a spat
    Now what am I to do?
    I tried my best to make it up
    But he said he was through
    I’m going home, yes all alone
    Unless you’d love me too

Chorus
I want to be loved, I want to be loved
But I am so shy don’t you see
Why doesn’t someone please take a hint
And make a fuss over me?
I want to be loved, I want to be loved
I want to be kissed and hugged
So, if you are wise, you’ll look in my eyes
And see that I want to be loved

  1. He said, “I’ll show you when I go
    That I’m not all to blame
    I saw you with another man
    But he can’t love the same”
    “Now Jim, you said, when first we met
    That we would never part
    But still I miss your loving kiss
    what’s wrong with you, sweetheart?”
