she wants to be wanted again

she gets the kids up and off to school

works never done till the day is through

same ole routine over and over again

there's a lot of this world that she's never seen

she married young

the boy of her dreams

and to this day

that's something she wouldn't change

but she longs for the way he used to whisper her name

she wants to be wanted

she knows that she's needed

she wants moonlight and romance

soft music and a slow dance

she wants him to hold her like he's never touched her

that's how love began

she wants to be wanted again

it's friday night and he's on his way home

she's made plans for them to be alone

took the kids to her mama's

they're gonna spend the night

and she's hoping he'll notice how her new dress fits her just right

she wants to be wanted

she knows that she's needed

she wants moonlight and romance

soft music and a slow dance

she wants him to hold her like he's never touched her

that's how love began

and she wants to be wanted again
