Hungry

The world is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You're leaving home, on the run, your mama, she was right
Home was a crowded space but it sometimes gratified
Look around, freedom found, now you've gone
you don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know
Your life is a precious thing, you can never be denied
You need a job, a place to live, you couldn't help but try
Home was a crowded place and it sometimes satisfied
Turn around, freedom found, now you've gone
Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
When there's nothing in your way and all of it burns inside
Reaching out on your own, reaching out, you're reaching out on your own
Lust is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You need to find the gift of love that comes from deep inside
Your heart is a special place and you're always there, I'm always there for you
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way
