They Just Want

They'll tell you they're in it for money
They will say their intentions are pure
They are scouring the room for the prettiest face in the bar

They're hungry for power, they're just picking flowers
They are looking for a war to fight
Or they just want someone
They just want someone to hold tonight

They'll say they are looking for diamonds
Or that they want to conquer the world
They'll tell you they're building a tower that climbs to the stars

A straight-A report card, an island, a sports car
A woman's cigarette to light
Or they just want someone
They just want someone to hold tonight

They'll say they are hungry for knowledge
They will tell you they're thirsty for God
They are combing the earth for the notes to a song
The world can all join arm in arm and sing along

They want a straight answer, they're trying to cure cancer
They are digging for the sweetest bite
No, they just want someone
They just want someone to hold tonight

They just want someone
They just want someone to hold tonight
