Desire

[Verse 1: St. Paul Peterson and Susannah Melvoin]
So long have we known each other
So long have we known each other
So little do we know
Little do we know
Sometimes I feel like strangers
Sometimes I feel like strangers
The real us we seldom do show
Seldom do show

[Chorus: Paul Peterson and Susannah Melvoin]
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours

[Verse 2: Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Both]
I dream of a physical evening
Dream of a physical evening, dream of a physical evening, dream of a physical evening
I long for a night within you
You're saving your love for some soldier
Some soldier, some soldier, some soldier
Who'd much rather die than stay by your side
If you only knew

[Chorus: Paul Peterson and Susannah Melvoin]
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours

[Verse 3: Paul Peterson and Susannah Melvoin]
A ghost from your past
Prevents us from knowing the pleasures of love
What must I do to convince you
Isn't the expression on my complexion enough?
(Ecstasy)

[Spoken Interlude: St. Paul Peterson]
Don't tell me we have conflicting emotions
It's written all over your face
Come my love, cover my tower
Ecstasy is ours

[Verse 4: Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Both]
So long have we known each other
So long have we known each other
So little do we know
Let me show you

[Chorus: St. Paul Peterson and Susannah Melvoin]
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours
Desire, it covers our faces
It happens in curious places
Your body, it covers my tower
Ecstasy is ours
