The Hunger
Eric Benet' Lyrics

You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
The subject is still desiring the singer and craving intimacy.

Now the first kiss was the one that let me see Just how deep you're into me Surprised by your intensity I couldn't believe
The singer's first kiss with the subject revealed how much they desired the singer, and it caught them off guard.

Now the next kiss happened seven days ago That's when I started letting go Dropped my guard and let you know I was ready for more, oh I
The second kiss occurred recently, and after it, the singer allowed themselves to be vulnerable and showed that they wanted to deepen the relationship.

Oh, that's when I took you home And I wasn't quite ready for how you came Words can't explain pleasures We've explored, oh I
After bringing the subject home, the artist was surprised by the intensity of their physical connection and the pleasures they've experienced together.

Oh, we've been making love six nights strong And I can't believe just how long you can go I'm ready for more of the hunger in your soul, oh I
The artist and the subject have been intimate for six consecutive nights, and the artist is impressed by the subject's endurance and desires more of their passion.

Girl, you're blazing like you never get enough of me It's amazing that I'm loving that You're still wanting me, you're still hungering We keep rising like we're never gonna reach the top I'm not trying to make you stop because You're still wanting me, you're still hungering
The singer finds it admirable that the subject has an insatiable desire for them and enjoys that passion. They are both continually rising in desire and are in no hurry to stop.

Now the first time was amazing like I said Like nothing I've seen, done, or read Colors and music played in my head I wasn't prepared
The memory of the first intimate experience with the subject was unforgettable, and the singer was surprised by the intensity of their connection.

Now the next time happened when I finally caught my breath I saw the sweat drip off your chest Girl, you inspire my very best And I gave nothing less and it seems
After a brief break, the artist was once again drawn to the subject's physicality and was inspired to give their all in return.

With every conversation in between I get a little more attracted When you open up your mind, girl I find your perception of the world coincides with mine
The artist becomes more and more attracted to the subject with each conversation, especially when the subject shares their thoughts and perspectives that align with the artist's own.

And I try to let the fever in me subside But every time I see that little look in your eye I come back to life And I rise, I rise, I rise, oh
The artist tries to control their passion, but they can't resist the subject's alluring gaze, and they feel alive and passionate again.

From the bedroom to the kitchen, up against the wall Still I hear your body calling because You're still wanting me and you're still hungering From a hundred miles an hour back to slow motion I'm the waves upon your ocean
The singer and the subject's intimacy is intense and all-consuming, with their physical attraction reverberating throughout the house. The singer compares their effect to waves on the subject's ocean-like desire for them.

Did you know that you smile when you're asleep? Is it there all the time or only when you're with me? When the morning sun shines on your face Let me be the first breath you take, I wanna be
The artist is enamored with the subject, even in their sleep, and desires to be an important presence in their life, greeting them as they awaken each morning.
