Lyrics
Desperately
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.
There's something 'bout the way you looked at me
Made me think for a moment
That maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
Oh why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
You looked me way and said, "you frustrate me"
Like you're thinking of lines and times
When you and I were you and me
We took our chance out on the street
Then I missed my chance
And chances are it won't be coming back to me
Oh why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
So desperately
Oh why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
I want you so desperately
I keep giving in but I should know better
I keep giving in but I should know better
So desperately
I want you so desperately
