I Wanna Be Loved

I Wanna Be Loved
Gladys Knight & Jamie Foxx
Why do I feel like my heart gets broken
Whenever I surrender my emotions
I thought that I could tell you how I feel
Whether good or bad, when I’m happy or sad

Oh, why do I have to be the silent one
Whenever there is something on my mind
I thought that we were partners in this game of love
Why can’t I laugh or cry and share my feelings deep inside
I wanna be loved by somebody who’s strong enough for me
I wanna be free with my feelings, that’s the way it’s
supposed to be
I’m willing to share my emotions and give you what you need
Just don’t turn away if I say that I just wanna be me
Why am I questioning where you are, ooh
It’s just because I’ve made a few demands
Remember all the times we cried and I dried your tears
And how I held your hand, if you do please understand
I wanna be loved by somebody who’s strong enough for me
I wanna be free with my feelings, that’s the way it’s
supposed to be
I’m willing to share my emotions and give you what you need
Just don’t turn away if I say that I just wanna be me

I wanna cry tears of joy and not of pain
I want to share things that words cannot explain
I don’t wanna go, I just need for you to know
That my love is sweet but strong, but keep on holding on
Cos I wanna be loved by somebody who’s strong enough for me
You see I wanna be free, I wanna be me, that’s the way
it’s supposed to be
I’m willing to share my emotions and give you what you need
Just don’t turn away if I say that I just wanna be me
Just don’t turn away if I say that I just wanna be me
Just don’t turn away if I say that I just want to be me
