I Wanna Be Loved By You Some Like It Hot Lyrics
Marilyn Monroe
Lyrics
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna kissed by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!
Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop!
Daddle-at-dat-dat-dum, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own,
Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dum-bum!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup!
Boop-boop-a-doop
