Thread Name: Lyr Add: Wanted (Perry Como; Homer & Jethro)
Subject: Lyr Add: WANTED (from Perry Como)
The sheet music is viewable at The Indiana University Sheet Music Collections. (I can't imagine why; it should still be under copyright. A goof on their part, I guess.)

WANTED
Jack Fulton, Lois Steele.
© M. Witmark & Sons, 1954.

VERSE: My friends were right. They said beware of her.
She'd violate the laws of love.
I don't know why I still should care for her.
I only know I need her so.

CHORUS: Wanted: someone who kissed me, 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.
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.

[Recorded by Perry Como.]
