Natalie Wood gave her heart to James Dean High school rebel and a beauty queen Standing together in an angry world One boy fighting for one girl I want to be loved like that I want to be loved like that A promise, you can't take back If you're gonna love me I want to be loved like that Daddy never gave momma a diamond ring Momma never worried for anything What he gave her came from the heart A bond that was never torn apart I want to be loved like that I want to be loved like that A promise, you can't take back If you're gonna love me I want to be loved like that An old man kneeling all alone Plants his flowers in a garden of stone For seven years now she's been gone And his devotion is still going strong I want to be loved like that I want to be loved like that A promise, you can't take back If you're gonna love me I want to be loved like that
