I want... NAY! Need your I Want songs!

I already have a Disney poll focused on I Want songs from Disney films. Still populating my nonDisney list of the same nature.

These dang earworms are heartwarming and often tear-inducing.
Let's start an I Want song thread here!

Here's a softball pitch to start this game:

*"The 'I Want' song is a popular type of song featured in musical theatre [where] the main character [sings] about how they are unsatisfied with their current life, and what they are searching for." Wikipedia

@tsarstepan,

For your tear-inducing enjoyment, from the old classic My Fair Lady,
Wouldn't It Be Loverly

- sometimes known as All I Want Is A Room Somewhere

Note the acting is done by Audrey Hepburn, the singing by Marni Nixon

@Sturgis,

Audrey didn't sing????? Darn, but wasn't she exquisite?

@glitterbag,

Sometimes an actor was so superb they could just lip-synch and someone else would happen along and belt out the tune.

...wonder how it would have gone if they'd hired Ethel Merman for the singing...?
