I WANNA BE LOVED BY YOU - LYRICS
----------------------------------------------
Music by by Herbert Stothart and Harry Ruby, lyrics by Bert Kalmar,
Published 1928


I want to be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I want to be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!

I want to kissed by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I want to be kissed by you, alone!

Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!

I want to be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I want to be loved by you, alone!

Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop!
Daddle-at-dat-dat-dumb, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own,
Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dumb-bum!

I want to be loved by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I want to be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup!
Boop-boop-a-doop!

ABOUT THIS TRACK
-------------------------
"I Wanna Be Loved by You" is a song written by Herbert Stothart and Harry Ruby, with lyrics by Bert Kalmar, for the 1928 musical Good Boy. It was first performed by Helen Kane on September 5, 1928, who was the inspiration behind the cartoon Betty Boop. "I Wanna Be Loved by You" was chosen as one of the Songs of the Century in a survey by the RIAA to which 200 people responded (out of 1300 asked). One of Marilyn Monroe's most famous musical performances is her singing the song in Billy Wilder's classic farce Some Like It Hot.

The song was first performed in 1928 by Helen Kane, who became known as the 'Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl' because of her baby-talk, scat-singing tag line to the song. This version was recorded when Kane's popularity started to reach its peak, and became her signature song. Two years later, a cartoon character named Betty Boop was modeled after Kane. Desirée Goyette performs the number as Betty Boop in the 1980s animated film The Romance of Betty Boop.

In 1950, the song was a highlight of the Kalmer-Ruby biopic Three Little Words, performed by Debbie Reynolds and Carleton Carpenter as Helen Kane and vaudeville performer Dan Healy. Helen Kane dubbed the vocal for Reynolds’ voice.
