I JUST WANNA BE LOVED

Octobre 1998, sort I JUST WANNA BE LOVED annoncant le grand retour et reformation de CULTURE CLUB!!
Le titre entra directement N° 4 dans les charts des meilleurs ventes Anglais.
George fut le premier surpris car il affirme n'avoir recu aucun soutien des grosses radio anglaises, comme radio one (rtl chez nous)!
Le titre se classe 14 en ITALY et 84 en Australie. La france lui porta un succes d'estime mais ne le classa pas dans les charts.

Le clip diffusé chez nous sur m6 (mais tres peu) fut pourtant un clip gentillé avec des parodies de certains chanteurs connues comme madonna, annie lenox, michael jackson et boy george lui meme...

George porta une perruque et un grand chapeau et chante entouté du groupe dans une maison dans laquelle regne une fête....

Ce single porte la lancée du futur album à venir... et figure également dans la compilation GREATEST MOMENTS.

Le single comprend un genial remix qui dure plus de 10 minutes : DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME (quivver mix)

I Just Wanna Be Loved
Take a picture of tonight and keep it by your heart
What is left is memories, there's no better way to part I will find another love, someone who won't bring me down
How you tried to level me but you never stood your ground
Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it now
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it out

Take a piece of dignity and use it in your life
Even though you hurt me I still want you to survive
Love was never special, we were never down
You will always have someone to bring you homeward bound

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it now
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it out

When you love someone
Don't you know, love is blind
When you love someone
They don't need borrowed time, yeah that's right

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it now
I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to shout it out

Love me, love me, love me, love me yeah
