Love once left me cold and gray
I had almost reached heaven
Just to feel it slip away

But life's too short to waste away
Being scared to take chances
Or so I've heard wise men say

I wanna be loved, faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten billion lifetimes with you
I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take it's chances
Just to be loved by you

Taste, touch, hear, see
Feel me now girl
And you'll know, I'm so ready
To exchange lifelong vows, yes I am

'Cause now you've shown me
How God has smiled
On this chance and this moment
For this I've prayed all my life

I wanna be loved, faithful and true
I wanna be loved
Ten billion lifetimes with you, girl
I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances
Just to be loved by you

I wanna feel
There's a reason for living again
I want us to fly far away
And I want my heart to sing

The words only you can understand
So put your hand in mine
Say a prayer tonight
So that we may find love

I wanna be loved
I want to be faithful and true
I wanna be loved

Ten billion lifetimes with you, baby
I wanna be loved

And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take its chances
Just to be loved by you

I want to be loved, faithful and true
I want to be loved
Ten billion lifetimes, ten zillion
Ten trillion lifetimes, baby

And after all I've been through
I'll let my heart take a chance
Just to be loved by you

I'll let my heart take a chance
Just to be loved by you
