We may be big or small or black or white, eternally And black and white is you and me (in a special light). We may be young or old or in between, but this much I know Together we can learn to grow. In a world that's ever turning it's back on you If you give it all away Make it mine. You are desire Everything you need, I give you right or wrong And you are the woman that I base my whole existence on And when I get to you my desire is glowing in your light These are the golden years we get to live, we lead the way tomorrow we can start today (in a special light). Love could be good or bad or in between, but this much I know Baby, you and I can learn In a world that's rearranging it's reality If you give it all away Make it mine. You are desire Everything you need, I give you right or wrong And you are the woman that I base my whole existence on And when I get to you my desire is glowing in your light And it's nice to light a fire when it's cold outside If you give it all away Make it mine. You are desire Everything you need, I give you right or wrong And you are the woman that I base my whole existence on And when I get to you my desire is glowing in your light You are desire Everything you need, I give you right or wrong And you are the woman that I base my whole existence on And when I get to you my desire is glowing in your light
