[Verse 1]
Why you always have something nice to say
And makes me sway
And why does my heart keep beating fast
When you kiss, kiss my lips
When all the sugar has gone
I don't know how
But you make everything feels like
The very first time

[Pre-Chorus]
You can make a man like me
Fallin' in love again
Though loving you is breaking all the rules
Please tell me what to do
You are

[Chorus]
You are the flower in a desert
That's what you are
Flower in a desert
That's what you are
You bring me joy and happiness
When I'm all alone

[Verse 2]
Why could you always make me feel the same
I love your way
Though I should have known this is just a game we play
Hey smiling face, have you ever really loved a man
'Till you sway
Or have you just been taking all these things for granted

[Pre-Chorus]
You can make a man like me
Fallin' in love again
Though loving you is breaking all the rules
Please tell me what to do
You are

[Chorus]
You are the flower in a desert
That's what you are
Flower in a desert
That's what you are
You bring me joy and happiness
When I'm all alone

Dewa 19

More commonly known as Dewa (and for a time, Down Beat), Dewa 19 was considered by some to be one of Indonesia’s biggest rock acts. Formed in 1986, the band would go through a number of lineup changes – and the occasional name change, due in part to the original inspiration for the band’s moniker being derived from the founder’s names – but they maintained their momentum and by 2008 had released a fair number of albums, nearly ten full-lengths, a pair of compilations, and some live work, and built a fanbase that was formidable, to say the least.

Their first album, Dewa 19 (the 19 referring to the ages of the founding members at the time of naming the band), released in 1992, was a huge hit, winning the band Best Newcomers and Most Popular Album at the 1993 BASF Awards. While drummers came and went, along with some other roster changes, Dewa 19 pressed ever forward, releasing Format Masa Depan in 1994, and Terbaik Terbaik in 1997. 1999 would see Dewa 19 close out the decade with a hits compilation, The Best of Dewa 19.
