Lyrics
Eric Benet - I Wanna Be Loved
Love once left me cold and gray
I had almost reached heaven
Just to feel it slip away
But life's too short to waste away
Being scared to take chances
Or so I've heard wise men say
I wanna be loved
Faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take it's chances,
just to be loved by you
Taste, touch, hear, see, feel me now girl
And you'll know I'm so ready
To exchange lifelong vows, yes I am
'Cause now you've shown me how God has smiled
On this chance and this moment
For this I've prayed all my life
I wanna be loved
Faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you girl
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances,
just to be loved by you
I wanna feel there's a reason for living again
I want us to fly far away
And I want my heart to sing the words
only you can understand
So put your hand in mine, say a prayer tonight
So that we may find love
I wanna be loved
I want to be faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten million lifetimes with you baby
I wanna be loved
And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances,
just to be loved by you
I want to be loved
Faithful and true
I want to be loved
Ten billion lifetimes, ten zillion,
ten trillio
