Dinah Washington - I Wanna Be Loved[Digipak] [compilation] (1962) by Dinah Washington (보컬) on maniadb.com

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
(be careful, be careful what you do)
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
(love me, love me, love me)
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

Hush now--don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Quiet--don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now--don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours, love
Don't explain

You and your smile
Hold strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams,
Ohh but where?
Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue
Yeah, suddenly you're there
Wherever I go,
You're the glow of temptation
Clumsing my way
In the grey of the dawn
And always your eyes smile
At strange invitation
Then you're gone
Wait! No!
Where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion
But where are you
You were so near
But then you were so far a apart
Hoping you'll say with a warm invitation
Where have you been, daddy,
Come into my heart

Blue gardenia
now I'm alone with you
and I am also blue.

He has tossed us aside
and like you, gardenia,
once I was near his heart.

After the tear drops start,
where are tear drops to hide?

I lived for an hour,
what more can I tell?

Love bloomed like a flower
then the petals fell.

Blue gardenia,
thrown to a passing breeze,
but pressed,
yes, there pressed in my book of memories.

I lived for an hour,
what more can I tell?

Love bloomed like a flower
and then the petals fell.

Blue gardenia,
thrown to a passing breeze,
but pressed
in my book of memo-ries,
but pressed
in my book of memo-ries.

Breeze, stop moanin' those weird melodies
My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music
Without singin' the blues
Your rhythm on my window pane
Drives me insane because I can't face the music
Without singin' the blues
My heart is so broken, I've spoken
To the Lord for sympathy
And if He don't help me
So help me ! It's the bottom of the deap blue sea
For me, I'm gonna end this misery
My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music
Without singin' the blues

Ev'ry day seems like a year,
Sweetheart, when you are not near.
All that you claim must be true,
For I'm just the same as you;

Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue,
My disposition depends on you.
I never mind the rain from the skies,
If I can find the sun in your eyes.
Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you,
But when I hate you, it's 'cause I love you.
That's how I am so what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you.

Stars are smiling at me from your eyes.
Sunbeams now there will be in the skies.
Tell me that you will be true!
That will all depend on you,

Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue,
My disposition depends on you.
I never mind the rain from the skies,
If I can find the sun in your eyes.
Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you,
But when I hate you, it's 'cause I love you.
That's how I am so what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you.
