I Just Wanna Be Love by You

Patty Loveless · Classics [Epic] [1999]

(Kostas/Emory Gordy Jr.)



Well, there's a lot of things we could do tonight

Go out, do the town, and see the sights

But you and I got better things to do

You know it's true.



I feel you deep down in my soul

Oh, you got me and I won't let go

And I just wanna be loved by you

Baby, just you.



The moon is swayin' and the stars are fallin'

Hey, hey baby, can't you hear me callin'

So let's stay home and enjoy the view

'Cause I just wanna be loved by you, yeah.



Don't answer the door, don't answer the phone

Let's tell the world to leave us alone

'Cause I just wanna be loved by you

Baby, just you.



So take me in your arms and hold me real tight

Wake up the neighbors in the middle of the night

You better believe it 'cause you know it's true

I just wanna be, just gotta be

I just wanna be loved by you.



So let's put the world up on the shelf

Tonight I want you all to myself

I just wanna be loved by you

Baby, just you.



'Cause the moon is swayin' and the stars are fallin'

Hey, hey baby can't you hear me callin'

So let's stay home and enjoy the view

'Cause I just wanna be loved by you.



So take me in your ams and hold me real tight

Wake up the neighbors in the middle of the night

You better believe it cause you know it's true

I just wanna be, just gotta be

I just wanna be loved by you.



I just wanna be loved by you.

I just wanna be loved by you.



I just wanna be, just gotta be

I just wanna be loved by you...
