It's the thrill of danger
It's the lure of a stranger
It's the game of opposites attract
It's the heart you can't touch
Or the love that's too much
It's the one you wish you could get back
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
It's a wall you must climb
It's the words you can't hide
It's a fear that only you can face
It's the one you sleep with
Or the one that you miss
It's the secret no one knows but you
Ooh, what you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want
Is what you really need
What you want
What you need
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
It's the lure of a stranger
It's the game of opposites attract
It's the heart you can't touch
Or the love that's too much
It's the one you wish you could get back
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
It's a wall you must climb
It's the words you can't hide
It's a fear that only you can face
It's the one you sleep with
Or the one that you miss
It's the secret no one knows but you
Ooh, what you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want
Is what you really need
What you want
What you need
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
What you really want (What you want)
And what you really need (What you need)
You got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want (What you want)
