Mel & Tim
[Verse 1]
I want to love, and be loved
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I want to care, and be cared for
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
And when Old Man Trouble calls and knocks up on my door
I want happiness to answer "We don't need you no more"

[Chorus]
I want to be yours
And you should be mine
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)

[Verse 2]
I want to kiss, and be kissed
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I want to miss, and be missed
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I need a girl who wants the same things to
Someone to help me, to make all my dreams come true

[Chorus]
I want to be yours
And you should be mine
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)

[Outro]
I want to love, and be loved
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I want to care, and be cared for
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I want to be yours, and you could be mine
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
(That's the way, that's the way)
I want to kiss, and be kissed
(That's the way I want to live my life, baby)
I want to miss, and be missed
