"When I Wanna Be Wanted" lyrics

I like to think of myself as a faithful man
True to my country and my kin
But God and mama know I am a tempted man
I get back on my feet then fall right down again

When I wanna be wanted I come to you
Cause you've got the kind of lovin'
That heals a heart that's blue
I stay with my woman when I wanna be true
But when I wanna be wanted I come to you

I don't mind the taste of whiskey on your lips
Or where you're coming from when you drop in
And every time you leave I swear it's over with
But a woman just needs a man to hold her now and then

When I wanna be wanted I come to you
Cause you've got the kind of lovin' that heals a heart that's blue
I wear my ring of golden when I wanna be true
But when I wanna be wanted I come to you

When I wanna be wanted I come to you
Cause you've got the kind of lovin' that heals a heart that's blue
I wear my ring of golden when I wanna be true
But when I wanna be wanted I come to you

Oh I stay with my woman (I stay with my man) when I wanna be true (when I wanna be true)
But when I wanna be wanted I come to you
