I WANNA BE LOVED BY YOU
Harry Ruby (m) Herbert Stothart (l) Bert Kalmar (l)  1928

Marilyn Monroe


"I wanna be loved by you, 
just you, nobody else but you 
I wanna be loved by you, 
alone boo-boo-be-do! 
I wanna be kissed by you, just you, 
nobody else but you 
I wanna be kissed by you, alone 
I couldn't aspire, to anything higher, 
than to feel the desire to make you my own 
ba-dom-ba-dom-ba-do-be-dom-boo! 
I wanna be loved by you just you, 
nobody else but you 
Iwanna be loved by you alone 
I couldn't aspire to anything higher, 
than to feel the desire, to make you my own 
ba-dom-ba-dom-do-be-dom-poo! 
I wanna be loved by you, 
just you nobody else but you! 
I wanna be loved by you 
ba-deedly-deedly-deedly-dom-boo-boo-be-do"

I'm not one of the greedy kind,
All of my wants are simple,
I know what's on my mind!
I'm not resting until I find
What would make your eyes glisten with joy,
Listen, big boy!

I wanna be love by you,
Just you
And nobody else but you.
I wanna be loved by you alone,
Boop-boop-a-doo.

I wanna be kissed by you,
Just you,
Nobody else but you.
I wanna be loved by you alone,
(scat)

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fill the desire
To make you my own,
(scat)

I wanna be love by you,
Just you
And nobody else but you.
I wanna be loved by you alone.

Love!
(scat)

(scat)

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fill the desire
To make you my own,
(scat)

I wanna be love by you,
Just you,
Nobody else but you.
I wanna be loved by you,
(scat)
