I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone poo poo pi doo
I wanna be kissed by you
Just you, nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Then to fill a desire
To make you my own

I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Then to fill a desire
To make you my own
Tada tada ta tada

I wanna be loved by you
Just you, nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
