Hungry

Last night as I stepped into the stage lights
I heard the people cry when they saw my face
There's nothing like our hearts beating in time
The crowd may inspire, but you give me my strength
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I need to hold you for a while
I've been slipping into desperation
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed
Your absence is controlling my defenses
My life is senseless without you by my side
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I need to hold you for a while
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I need to hold you for a while
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy
Every no becomes a maybe, it never takes too long
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do
You don't know what I'm going through; everything seems wrong
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I need to hold you for a while
