Lyrics

[Intro]

(Desire)

Is it desire

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

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[PreChorus]

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é baile de favela, elas toda' vêm sentando)

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é, isso é, isso é, isso é—)

[Chorus]

Is it desire

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

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[PostChorus]

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é baile de favela, elas toda' vêm sentando)

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é, isso é, isso é, isso é—)

[Verse 1]

I must be tough

I must behave, I must keep fighting

Don't give it up

I want to keep us compromising

Open your arms and pray

To the truth that you're denying

Give in to the game

To the sense that you've been hiding

[PreChorus]

Is it desire

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

I want desire

I wanna see what you're willing to lose

'Cause your love

'Cause your love

'Cause your love

'Cause your love

[Chorus]

Is it desire

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

I want desire

'Cause your love only gets me abused

[PostChorus]

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é baile de favela, elas toda' vêm sentando)

'Cause your love

(Is it love? What is down and what is up?)

(Isso é, isso é, isso é, isso é—)

[Outro]

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (Hey, Ian)

(Bring it back)
