Desire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're gone from mean street
Each time our eyes meet
I want to touch you
Sudden attraction
Such strange reaction
Hold me to you
Then you push me away
I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
Learned all that you want baby
Then why don't you show babe
Don't play with me baby
'Cause I'll find somebody
Who knows how to love me
So if you want it
You better take it right now
I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
Come on and take me through the night
You know I won't put up a fight
Just wrap your arms around me tight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Wondered why you make me
It might make you want to stay
If you don't take me
Life might never take me back this way
I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
Desire, desire, desire
