Lyrics for Desire

What makes a man do the things That a man does to be The very thing he perceives Would capture your heart? Capture your heart What does it feel like inside? Does it hurt you at night? Or does it keep you alive And set you on fire, on fire? I would give anything For the touch of your skin Yes, I would burn here for years Up in desire, desire What makes a woman believe In a man such as me? Unworthy to sit at your foot or your crown I can only let you down I can only let you down What does it feel like inside? Does it hurt you at night? Or does it keep you alive And set you on fire, on fire? I would give anything For the touch of your skin Yes, I would burn here for years Up in desire, desire And some men spend their lives Chasing the accolades of pride But that just never crossed my mind You were always on my mind, oh What does it feel like inside? Does it hurt you at night? Or does it keep you alive And set you on fire, on fire? I would give anything For the touch of your skin Yes, I would burn here for years Up in desire, desire (Desire, desire)
