Wanting You Desperately

(album: Some Things Don't Come Easy - 1978)

I remember loving you
From the first time
I looked into our eyes
You were standing there
Waiting for the walking light
And I remember staring through
The crowd you disappeared into
I remember the emptiness that I felt
When you were gone

And wanting you desperately
But never having you
It keeps me awake in the night
Wishing that you were beside me
Wanting you desperately
But never telling you
It's breaking my heart
And it's tearing me apart

I remember moving to
A new place
That was right above your room
And the happiness I felt
When I found I was close to you
And I remember the afternoon
My elevator, it opened to you
Oh what a feeling I had inside
When you turned and said "hello"

And wanting you desperately
But never having you
It keeps me awake in the night
Wishing that you were beside me
Wanting you desperately
But never telling you
It's breaking my heart
And it's tearing me apart

I only wish that I was strong
I'd take a chance
I'd get you alone
Then I'd tell you the way I feel
That the love I have is real
Yes the love I have is real

And wanting you desperately
But never having you
It keeps me awake in the night
Wishing that you were beside me
Wanting you desperately
But never telling you
It's breaking my heart
And it's tearing me apart
