[Verse 1]
Last night as I stepped into the stage lights
I heard the people cry when they saw my face
There is nothing like our hearts beating in time
The crowd may inspire, but you give me my strength

[Chorus]
Oh, hungry, I am hungry, I am hungry
For your sweet smile
Lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely
I need to hold you for a while

[Verse 2]
I have been slipping into desperation
You are the only salvation that the Lord designed
Your absence is controlling my defenses
My life is senseless without you by my side

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy
Every "no" becomes a "maybe", it never takes too long
Missing you, I do not know what I am going to do
You do not know what I am going through, everything seems wrong

[Chorus]
