When I am kissed, I want her lips to really kiss me;

AM7         C#m7             D9        Bm7-5 D6  
When we're apart, I want her heart to really miss me.

D         F#m              Bm7              Bm7/E
I want to know she loves me so her eyes are misting -

 E     D9   E    Cdim        E7
That's the way I want to be loved.


E7/6 AM7  C#m7       Fdim(III) D  A      F#m  D9  Dm6           E7sus4  E7
A - lone,     just my lone  -  ly heart knows how    I want to be wanted

E7/6  AM7 C#m7      Fdim(III) D   A   F#m   D9  Dm6 Bm7-5      E7sus4   E7
Right now  -  not to - mor - row, but right now,   I want to be wanted.

D          F#m             Bm7               Cdim
I want someone to share my love with and my dreams with;

AM7       C#m7             D9      Bm7-5   D6  
Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with.

AM7  C#m7      Fdim(III) D   A   F#m    D9  E7/6 A 
Where   is this some  -  one somewhere meant for me?
