Urgent
Foreigner Lyrics

You're not shy, you get around
You're very outgoing and you move around a lot

You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You want to be free-spirited and not be anchored to anything

You stay up, you won't come down
You love to stay awake and enjoy yourself even if you have to be up all night

You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound
You want to live your life to the fullest, following your own rhythm

Got fire in your veins, burning hot but you don't feel the pain
You're very passionate and motivated, even if it's causing you some suffering

Your desire is insane
You have a burning need for something that is causing you to act irrationally

You can't stop until you do it again
You're so invested in your actions that you won't stop until you do it all over again

But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
The singer often thinks about what goes through the subject's mind and how they feel, as demonstrated through noticing their eyes

Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
It's possible that the subject may be interested in someone else

But I know, yes, I know how to treat you right
The singer feels confident in how he treats the subject

That's why you call me in the middle of the night
The subject relies on the singer for comfort when they feel lonely or distressed

It's urgent, so urgent, so urgent (urgent, urgent)
The matter is very pressing and needs immediate attention

Just wait and see
The listener should wait and observe the situation for themselves

How urgent my love can be
The singer is confident that their love is just as urgent as the matter at hand

You play tricks on my mind
The subject has a tendency to be confusing and deceptive to the singer

You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
The subject is difficult to understand, even though they appear to be available

You're not warm or sentimental
The subject is not particularly emotional or affectionate

You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
The subject has a lot of swings in mood and can sometimes act in an unpredictable manner

But I'm not looking for a love that'll last
The singer is not looking for a long-term relationship

I know what I need and I need it fast
The singer knows exactly what they want and need it right away

Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
There is one thing that both the singer and the subject have in common

That's a need for each other anytime, anywhere
Both the singer and the subject need each other at all times, no matter the place or situation

It gets so urgent, so urgent, you know it's urgent
The situation has become even more urgent and pressing

I want to tell you it's the same for me (ooh ooh)
The singer wants the subject to know that he feels the same way

So urgent (urgent, urgent)
The situation is still very pressing and needs immediate attention

Just you wait and see how urgent our love can be
The singer is confident that their love is just as intense as the urgent matter

Make it fast, make it urgent
The singer wants the subject to act quickly and in an urgent manner

Do it quick, do it urgent
The instruction for the subject is to be quick and urgent

Gotta run, make it urgent (urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent)
The singer doesn't have much time and needs the subject to act urgently with a lot of emphases

Want it quick, make it urgent, urgent
The urgency of the situation must be emphasized again so that the subject acts quickly

Emergency, urgent, urgent
The situation is now a full-blown emergency and needs immediate attention

Emergency, urgent (urgent), urgent (urgent)
The matter is much more serious now and need urgent attention

So urgent, emergency
The situation has escalated in severity and need immediate and urgent action

Ooh ooh (ooh ooh), ooh ooh (ooh ooh), ooh ooh (ooh ooh)
A melodic repetition that serves to emphasize the need for urgency
