The stars in your eyes set my soul on fire
Your voice is like an angel above of me
The touch of your hand drives me insane
But, baby, I wants to be loved

I'm crazy about every little thing you do
I cherish the way you hug me
Your kiss so sweet, honey, it can't be beat
But, baby, I wants to be loved

Every time I ask you for a date
You don't come at all, you're mighty late
I ask you to dance, take a little spin
You say Wait a minute, daddy, here come my friend

I love the way you walk when you pass me by
Even when you try to snub me
You kiss me, baby, when you give me the eye
But, baby, I wants to be loved

All right

Yeah, every time I ask you for a date
You don't come at all, you're mighty late
I ask you to dance, take a little spin
You say Wait a minute, daddy, here come my friend

I love the way you walk when you pass me by
Even when you try to snub me
You kiss me, baby, when you give me the eye
But, baby, I wants to be loved
