Wanted
ペリー・コモ [feat. Henri René and His Orchestra & Chorus] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And held me closely, then stole my heart
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning we'd ever part
She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms
He knew nothing of the danger in her charms
But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me
Wanted, someone who kissed me
And held me closely, then stole my heart
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning that we'd ever part
She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms
He knew nothing of the danger in her charms
A jury may find her guilty
But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me

Despite the pain caused by this betrayal, the singer contemplates forgiveness if the person would genuinely repent and acknowledge their sole desire for the singer.
