Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I must be tough

I must behave, I must keep fightin'

Don't give it up

I want to keep us compromisin'

[Verse 2]

Open your arms and pray

To the truth that you're denyin'

Give in to the game

To the sense that you've been hidin'

[Verse 3]

Where are you taking me?

I can't be blamed

I want you to want me again

[Verse 4]

Is it desire

Or is it love that I'm feelin' for you?

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[Verse 5]

Give me that rush

I want to show you what you've been missin'

Am I enough

To keep your other lovers hidden?

[Verse 6]

Where are you takin' me?

I can't be blamed

I want you to want me again

[Verse 7]

Is it desire

Or is it love that I'm feelin' for you?

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[Verse 8]

Is it desire

Or is it love that I'm feelin' for you?

I want desire

I wanna see what you're willin' to lose

[Verse 9]

You know that you've got me

You've locked me down

You tell me you want me

You need it now

You know that you've got me

You've locked me down

You tell me you want me now

[Verse 10]

Is it desire

Or is it love that I'm feelin' for you?

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[Verse 11]

Is it desire

Or is it love that I'm feelin' for you?

I want desire

I wanna see what you're willin' to lose
