I Just Wanna Be Loved

About I Just Wanna Be Loved

"I Just Wanna Be Loved" is the first single from Culture Club's fifth album, Don't Mind If I Do. The hit single went to No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart. It became Culture Club's ninth top 10 hit there. It was their first release after their split in 1986. The song was released in North America, in the summer of 1998, to promote Culture Club's reformation US tour and the live album and compilation VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Moments. It failed to generate interest on US radio. In Canada, the music video was broadcast quite often and the song was on strong rotation on many popular radio stations, the song went to No. 18 there. It was released in the autumn of 1998 in the rest of the world. The comeback song went straight in at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, during a week where the entire top five positions were held by new entries for the first time. The top five was completed by Cher with "Believe", George Michael with "Outside", U2 with "Sweetest Thing", and Alanis Morissette with "Thank U". more »

Woah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Take a picture of tonight  
And keep it by your heart
Love has left us memories 
There's no better way to part 
I will find another love
Someone who won't bring me down
How you tried to level me
But you never stood your ground 
Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind 

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud 
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it loud, ooh

Take a piece of dignity 
And use it in your life
Even though you hurt me
I still want you to survive 
Love was never special
We were never down
You will always have someone 
To bring you on the ground 
Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind 

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud 
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it loud 
Oh, when you love someone
Don't you know, love is blind
Oh, when you love someone
It'll be for all time, yeah that's right 

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind 
Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud 
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it loud 
I just want be loved
Oh I just want to be loved
Oh I just want to be loved
I need to be loved, yeah
I just want to be loved
Don't want to bind you baby
