Desire
Holly Valance Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late night
Party time
All around me
The room is jumping
This feeling I can't contain it
Got me reeling
Our bodies pumping
Your eyes move

Like on my body
And the headlights
The heat is rising

Nothing that I can do
Can't stop me from wanting you
I'm losing my self control

If I lose my mind
Touching you tonight
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
If I cross the line
If I run this red light
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
My desire

Right here
Right now
Your adrenaline, pureness
As you hold me
You're still and then we kiss

Nothing that I can do
Can't stop me from wanting you
I'm losing my self control

If I lose my mind
Touching you tonight
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
If I cross the line
If I run this red light
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
My desire

My desire, my desire, my desire, my desire, my desire

If I lose my mind
Touching you tonight
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
If I cross the line
If I run this red light
I can't help myself
Gotta satisfy my desire
My desire

My desire, my desire, my desire, my desire, my desire
