Another song in my brain
I have loved this song for years. Years! But, I've been a Dinah Washington fan since the first time I heard "Teach Me Tonight" back in the early 90s.
I don't know what it is with me and jazz music's tragic figures. Dinah was a queen.
I WANNA BE LOVED Dinah Washington
I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tightI wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or rightI 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 lovingI 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 lovedI 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 lovingI wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved
