Lyrics
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
There's a girl in my office
She keeps on stopping
Right in front of my eyes
Though I try and try
I can't hide anymore
Letting my feelings speak for me
But when I try to speak
My tongue gets weak
I stay the lonely man I am
Why should it be
(Why)
That my heart's under lock
And I can't find the key?
Tell me
(Why)
Why should it seem
That I'm diving inside without making a try?
(Why oh)
Well I only want to be wanted
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
(Why oh)
Well I only want to be wanted
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
There's a girl in my dreams
Working nights on my scenes
'Til she has me in little bits
There's a time and a place
But it moves at a pace
And I can't seem to keep in time
There's a word for the way
But no words could I say
So a lonely man I stay
Why should it be?
(Why)
I confess that it's hard
Turning hopes into dreams but uh
(Why)
Why did I see?
You cocoon yourself nights
Finding soup in your flies
(Oh, oh, oh)
(I only want to be wanted)
(I, I, I only want to be wanted)
(I, I only want to be wanted)
(I only want to be wanted)
(Why)
Why should it be
That my heart's under lock
And I can't find the key?
Tell me
(Why)
Why should it seem
That I'm diving inside without making a try?
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Yeah)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Yeah)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Yeah)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
(Ooh-ooh, why oh-oh)
I only want to be wanted, wanted
(Why oh)
