Performer Ricky Nelson
Title I wanna be loved
Lyrictext

Well I know somewhere there’s bound to be
A girl who’d really care for me
Somebody that-a really loves me
Somebody that’ll kiss and hug me
The girl I am dreamin’ of
Is gonna love me like I wanna be loved

Well I hope someday she’ll come to me
And love me ever faithfully
I’m hopin’ she’ll understand me
I’m hopin’ her heart commands me
The girl I am dreamin’ of
Is gonna love me like I wanna be loved

Well if I ever find the girl I’m lookin’ for
I’m gonna treat her just as good as I can
I wanna give her anything her heart desires
Say now, don’t you understand

That I need somebody to call my own
I’m so tired of being alone
Somebody that really loves me
Somebody that’ll kiss and hug me
The girl I am dreamin’ of
Is gonna love me like I wanna be loved

Well if I ever find the girl I’m lookin’ for
I’m gonna treat just as good as I can
I wanna give her anything her heart desires
Say now, don’t you understand

That I need somebody to call my own
I’m so tired of being alone
Somebody that really loves me
Somebody that’ll kiss and hug me
The girl I’d like to find
Is gonna let me know that she’s really mine
