(A Parker / S Evans)

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

I'll smother you with kisses
and I'll grant you all your wishes
and I'll treat you with the warmth I have in mind
I'm gonna love you with all of my might
I'll hug and squeeze and kiss you every day and every night

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

Now when the lessons over
I'll find a four leaf clover
and I'll give you everything your heart desires
I'm gonna show you how sweet it can be
and I'll convince you that the only one you need is me

I'll smother you in kisses
and I'll grant you all your wishes
I'll squeeze in tears and hurt and plead
again and again and again

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted a someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted a someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

I always wanted this love from me to you
this love from me to you
