Wanna Be Loved

What a world o' love

Now where could it be?

Must be somewhere for me

I, Buju Banton, need it desperately

Ba-ba-ba

I wanna be loved

Not for who you think I am

Nor what you want me to be

Could you love me for me?

Real love

With no strings attached

I wanna give yuh ma heart

Don't wanna take it back

And dis is my chat, cho

Been searching a long long time

For that oh-so-true love

To comfort dis heart of mine

No pretense stop wasting my time

A virtuous woman is really hard to find

I'm telling you lady

I'm only human, not looking for impossibility

Just a genuine woman with sincerity

Someone who is always near to hold me

Show me yuh care, up front and boldly

Don't shun my feelings, all the positive meanings

Love me morning, noon, all seasons

I wanna be loved

Not for who you think I am

Nor what you want me to be

Could you love me for me?

Real love

With no strings attached

I wanna give yuh ma heart

Don't want to

Well every hoe have dem stick a bush

What happen to me, she must be somewhere out dere

Now where could she be?

Caught up passionately inna love rhapsody

I'm like waiting on some honey

But there ain't no queen bee

Everybody a laugh

Some a seh I'm silly

No infatuation, no love fantasy

Woman you lead my life like a string

I cyaan take di on an off ting

I am oh so lonely inside so I sing

Love me

Not for who you think I am

Nor what you want me to be

Could you love me for me?

Real love

With no strings attached

I wanna give yuh ma heart

Lady

I would spend many nights at home

Woman, if it means contention

I'd rather be alone

Tell the service man cut the phone

An mi seh lock all communication

Why? If there's no light within my day

I rather stay in isolation

For dat special someone a lifetime I'll wait

I know dat I'll be okay

Cross my heart, every day I live I pray

And I know she'll come my way

Night and day for dis woman I pray

I wanna be loved

Not for who you think I am

Nor what you want me to be

Could you love me for me?

Real love

With no strings attached

I wanna give yuh ma heart

Don't wanna take it back

An dis is my chat, cho

I've been searching a mighty long time

For that oh-so-true love

To comfort dis heart of mine

No pretense, stop wasting my time

A virtuous woman is really hard to find

I'm telling you lady

I'm only human, not looking for impossibility

Just a genuine woman with sincerity

Someone who is always near to hold me

Show me yuh care, up front and boldly

Don't shun my feelings, all the good meanings

Love me morning, noon, all seasons

I wanna be loved

Not for who you think I am

Nor what you want me to be

Could you love me for me?

Real love

With no strings attached

I wanna give yuh ma heart

Don't want to

Well every hoe have dem stick a bush

What happen to me, she must be somewhere out dere

Now where could she be?

Caught up passionately inna love rhapsody

I'm like waiting pon some honey

But there ain't no queen bee

Everybody a laugh

Some a seh, "Too silly"

No infatuation
