What We Really Want

We tried to make ourselves pay

For something we've never done

Threw the best parts of life away

On street talk, strangers and drugs

But what we really want is love

What we really need is love

I want to call out your name

I want to hold out my hand

The woman silent in the mirror tonight

Wants to talk to your mirror man

And what they really want is love

What they really need is love

We are ships in the night

The waters deep in between

The air is freezing and we can't find the light

So we sail off into our dreams

But what we really dream is love

What we really need is love

What we want is love

What we need is love

I tried to make it feel right

In someone else's world

I sat and looked out my window last night

And knew that things had changed for this girl

'Cause what I really found is love

What I really feel is love

What we really want is love

What we really need is love

What we want is love

What we need is love
