Desperate

Here we sit in this smoky bar
Two souls drifting thru the world alone
Here we talk about life and love
Hold me tonight, we'll be lovers
And we'll dance as our drinks go down
Casting the stale truth with each breath
Then we'll touch as the lights go out
Want me tonight? I'm your lover, yeah
And baby, I'm desperate
I'm burning fire for you
When the rain comes falling down
And you're lonely as the night grows colder
Don't worry 'cause I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Take a moment to look over your shoulder
'Cuz, honey, you know I'm desperate too
Everybody's desperate just like you
Here we are like the times before
Reaching out at midnight for the only open arms
And we kiss in our shangri-la
We steal the night just like lovers
Baby, I'm desperate
I'm burning fire for you
When the rain comes falling down
And you're lonely as the night grows colder
Don't worry 'cause I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Take a moment to look over your shoulder
'Cuz, honey, you know I'm desperate too
Everybody's desperate just like you, yeah
Somebody's been waiting, baby
Seems like a thousand nights
Everybody's been desperate, baby
Sometimes the wrong seem right
When the rain comes falling down
And you're lonely as the night grows colder
Don't worry 'cause I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Take a moment to look over your shoulder
'Cuz, honey, you know I'm desperate too
Everybody's desperate just like you, yeah
Everybody's desperate just like you!
When the rain comes falling down
And you're lonely as the night grows colder
Don't worry 'cause I'll be there for you, yeah, yeah
When your dreams seem far away
Take a moment to look over your shoulder
'Cuz, honey, you know I'm desperate too, yeah
When the rain comes falling down
And you're lonely as the night grows colder
When your dreams seem far away
Take a moment to look over your shoulder
