lyrics

Things are taking off
I watch the summer as it melts in my cup
I watch the boys and girls put on their makeup I watch the ocean as it's drinking the sun
I find myself with a little problem
I point my finger and it just looks like a gun
What do I say to make them stay instead of turn and run? I don't want to be alone, I just want to hold someone
I want to be loved
I just want to be loved I want to be loved
I want to be
I want to be
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
So glad I caught up with you
Boy, I've been chasing you around like a ghost
You felt my presence all tied up with a bow
Oh please understand me I'm just trying to get close
I find myself with a little issue
I hold out my hands and they just look like a noose
What do I say to make you stay, instead of turn me loose? I just want to give in, I just want to be with you
I want to be loved
I just want to be loved I want to be loved
I want to be
I want to be
Do I ask, do I ask?
I just want your love Do I ask too much?
Can't you see our pretty future, boy?
Can't I take you home and make you mine? What if I told you I thought you was the one? What if I told you I would die trying?
I find myself with a little problem
I point my finger and it just looks like a gun
Are you going to turn around, are you going to run? I just want to give in, I just want to give up
I want to be loved
I just want to be loved I want to be loved
I want to be
I want to be
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

One of my most played country albums of 2020. Was supposed to see him live and well you all know what happened there unfortunately. Finally remembered to grab the vinyl here on bandcamp to hear these righteous tunes gathered round the old turntable. What a fun, genuine album. Bucky

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
