Devo’s most controversial song, “I Desire’s” lyrics consist of poetry written by John Hinckley, Jr., the attempted assassin of U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1981. Mark Mothersbaugh would later admit, “It was not the best career move you could make. We had the FBI calling up and threatening us.”
I Desire Lyrics
I desire
I desire
I pledge allegiance to the thought
That your love is all that matters
And your gestures have the power
To bring the whole world to its knees
Don't let me torment you
Don't let me bring you down
Don't ever let me hurt you
Don't let me fail because
I desire your attention
I desire your perfect love
I desire nothing more than this
To give you happiness
Could become a lifetime goal
A smile I might bring you
Is more important than world peace
Don't let me torment you
Don't let me bring you down
Don't ever let me hurt you
Don't let me fail because
I desire your attention
I desire your perfect love
I desire nothing more
I pledge allegiance to the fact
That you're wise to walk away
For nothing is more dangerous
Than desire when it's wrong
Don't let me torment you
Don't let me bring you down
Don't ever let me hurt you
Don't let me fail because
I desire your attention
I desire your perfect love
I desire nothing more
I desire your attention
I desire your perfect love
I desire nothing more or less
I desire
I desire
I desire
I desire
