Brenda Lee - I Want To Be Wanted Lyrics

My Sweetheart Linda used to lay with her head in my lap and sing this to me. She looked so much my Brenda it took my breath away. That was many tears ago, I hope she had a happy life, I still miss her.

Brenda is superb in this cover of the Italian tune "Per Tutta La Vita"

I love this song, Olivia Newton-John covered this song beautifully as well. GREAT song.

Brenda Lee sure could belt out a tune. Good stuff

Classic day . Every day

want to be wanted too

OFF THE CHARTS BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!

Utterly heartbreaking. Beautiful music.

My favourite of all the many great songs released by her.

thats the way to be loved thank you Ms.Lee

Love Brenda Lee

I want to be wanted! Where the hell is he?? #nottomorrowbutrightnow

I'm here waiting for you get in touch with me. Peace and Love...

(Wanted, wanted)
Alone, so alone that I could cry, I want to be wanted
(wanted)
Alone, watching lovers passing by, I want to be wanted.
When I am kissed, I want his lips to really kiss me.
When we're apart, I want his heart to really miss me.
I want to know he loves me so his eyes are misting
. That's the way - I want to be loved.

Alone, just my lonely heart knows how I want to be wanted
(wanted) right now, Not tomorrow, but right now I want to be wanted.
I want someone to share my laughter and my tears with.
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with
.Where is this someone somewhere meant for me?

(Alone) Just my lonely heart knows how I want to be wanted
(right now ) Not tomorrow, but right now. I want to be wanted.
I want someone to share my laughter and my tears with.
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with.
Where is this someone somewhere meant for me?
(Someone somewhere meant for me)

Great Lyrics and melody. Don't think I have heard better. I am 75 Years Old and this time makes relive my youth. Keep up the good work You Tube.

One of my all time favorites by Brenda!

I LOVED this song. Thank you.

Thank you Ms. Lee!

Little Brenda Mae Tarply of Atlanta, Georgia born December 11 1944 is an American singer of the 50's and early 60's.

Thanks for info. Gary, good stuff!

Brenda certainly knew how to put this type of song over - plus, I love her arrangement, background singers and slow dance tempo.

Sweet, and sentimental, music by an extremely talented women. That time has passed on into history for all those who never had a chance to hear it. Thankfully for the rest of us theres Youtube, to take us back when we need it.

I am 17 and adore Brenda's music, there are plenty of us young people who still cherish the music of the 50s and 60s. I feel my generation has lots of good music and I don't mean to put what my peers love down, but I will always love and prefer oldies personally. You were lucky to grow up with this stuff. Often wish I could've been around back then 💕

Little Brenda Tarply.

what a record that was

THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGER EVER!!!1 DID U HEAR ME PEOPLE?????? THE BEST BETTER THAN THE REST LOVE HER NO# 1 FAN HERE GREW UP WITH HER IN THE 60S MY TEEN YEARS

@honorary lizard I think it's different for every generation but the feel is the same

Yo la comense a escuchar cuando era aún niña yo tenia 8 años en Radio Miraflores cuando salio Saltando el palo de Escoba y una mas la otras muy popular I Sorry
Y me compre mi LP despues los de. 45 Rpm. Y salio que cosideraba para mi Mi Mundo Entero se esta Derrumbando.
Hasta ahora ella comenzo a cantar. A los 9 años.
Eso es Brenda Lee. Y siguio
Llego a ser hacer la Numero Uno en los Ranking.
Y creo que sigue cantando La pequeña "Miss Dinamita" Brenda LEE.

@honorary lizard Not like this.

I do too ! love it

Rocking Around The Christmas Tree and this song are my favorites by her.

The song features in a long, lovingly-shot sequence in a early 1960's diner in a small Georgia town on Highway 17 in the film 'The Loveless'. Willem Dafoe orders scrambled eggs, toast and a coffee - parked outside is his FL HydraGlide Harley.

I think that's how I first heard this song.

What a fabulous voice from a small woman.  Brenda Lee had a great many fantastic songs and she really takes me way, way back.  A great post, thank you.

One of the best singers who ever recorded. Today's so called divas should listen and learn!

I like this song.  It describes that time when you somehow fall in love with someone who could not care less about you.  One feels so alone seeing all others having fun and dating whilst one has no one. Jorge Mario Rodas
