John Waite - Desperate Love lyrics

I'm on the streets again, an' I can't tell wrong from right

I'm on the run from love, but I don't know what I'm running for

But it all looks alright, when I'm standing at your door

This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you

This could be reality, tonight, tonight, desperate love

Got no reflection in the mirror anymore

I'm falling backwards, but I never hit the floor

Don't give me counterfits, I need the real thing

This ain't a game no more, I'm bettin' everything

This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you

This could be reality, tonight, tonight, desperate love, yeah, desperate love

I don't feel I should fight, when you pull me through your door

You take me to your room and show me what I'm living for

And I lose myself, but my heart keeps poundin'

If you won't take me now, don't take me anymore

'Cos I don't read books, but I know the score

This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you

This could be reality, tonight

You could be next to me, I've been waiting for you

This could be reality, tonight, yeah

(Solo)

I don't feel I should fight, when you pull me through your door

You take me to your room and show me what I'm living for

And I lose myself, but my heart keeps poundin'

If you won't take me now, don't take me anymore

'Cos I don't need books, to know the score

You could be next to me, I've been dreaming of you

This could be ecstacy, tonight, tonight, desperate love

Yeah, desperate love, desperate love, yeah, desperate love

Ooh, yeah, desperate love, desperate, desperate love

Desperate, desperate love, love, it's desperate, desperate love...
