Desire - Boz Scaggs

So much desire in the world today

So much of everything you can’t give it away

You could be happy but you’re feeling so bad

About what you never have

Because you can’t look at nothing without wanting it

And you know that’s the truth

There’s always some scene you think you got to break into

Or a new sensation to intoxicate you

Ain’t it a drag

Staring through the glass at something doesn’t touch you really

Or bring you laughter or roses or stroke your hair so tenderly

Desire

Stealing you away from me

Desire

You’re living in a dream

Desire

Is getting the best of you

Who was it told you

You have to have everything you see

Same one who sold you that last fantasy

Roll up your sleeves and use those hands for something

That’s gonna work for you baby

To fill your arms and your heart with joy

Desire

Stealing you away from me

Desire

You’re living in a dream baby

Desire

Is getting the best of you

Now look into your mirror

Could you stand a little nearer

Look her in the eye

A lot depends on what you see

Now look away baby

Look my way baby

You’ll see

Desire

Stealing you away from me

You’re living in a dream

Is getting the best of you

Desire

Stealing you away from me

You’re living in a dream

Who was it told you

You have to have everything you see…
