Want is the cigarette smoke on a jacket
You wore to the wrong part of town
Desire is the sound of the whiskey
Telling me you miss me, can you come around?
Passion is a passing thing
It’s accidental chemistry
Lust is a liar, a short-lived fire
It ain’t what you and I are at all

Oh, it’s a need, it’s a need
I would go anywhere that you lead
I am hopeless, breathless, burning slow
Touch me, hold me, tell me: I won’t let you go
I won’t leave, it’s a need

Danger is a thousand prickles on my neck
That tell me to run or to freeze
Fear is the nightmare I had, you were with someone else
You forgot about me
Passion is a passing thing
It’s accidental chemistry
Caught up in a feeling, it can be deceiving
This is like breathing for me

Oh, it’s a need, it’s a need
I would go anywhere that you lead
I am hopeless, breathless, burning slow
Touch me, hold me, tell me: I won’t let you go
I won’t leave, it’s a need

Baby, it’s always
A new kiss every time we do this
The truth is
It’s essential to me
That you love me more than
Wishing, longing

Oh, it’s a need (it’s a need), it’s a need (ah-ah, ah-ah)
I would go (I would go) anywhere (anywhere) that you lead (oh, oh)
I am hopeless, breathless, burning slow (burning slow)
Touch me, hold me, tell me: I won’t let you go
I won’t leave (I won’t leave), it’s a need (oh)
