DeSperatiON

(ad-libs)

Yeahhh… ohhh no no no… mm-mmm… (woo woo)

Uhh… I need you… I need you… yeah yeah yeah

Des-per-ation… (umm umm, woo woo)

Mmm-hmm, can’t breathe without it…

⸻

I been sittin’ by the phone, no calls (uh uh)

Pacin’ these floors, can’t stand tall

Swear I gave you all I had, every piece

Now I’m here starin’ at your ghost, no peace

(Ad-lib: “Why’d you go? Why’d you leeeave…”)

(Run: “Leeeeaaaave meee like thiiis…”)

Thought I had your heart in my hands

Now it’s slippin’ like sand

And I’m drownin’ in what we had

No raft, just a memory crash

⸻

Every second hurtin’ (hurtin’!)

Every breath I’m searchin’ (searchin’)

Feenin’ for your light (uh-uh)

But it’s gone with the night… ooh-yeahhh

(Ad-libs: “Gone… gone… gone…”)

⸻

It’s desperation… ohhhh (woo woo, ahhh haaa)

Cryin’ out in this isolation (uh uh, yeah yeah)

I would give my soul, my lungs, my tears (umm umm)

Just to have you whisper in my ear…

Call it obsession, baby I don’t mind

Feelin’ like I’m runnin’ out of time (woo woo)

This ain’t no game, no infatuation

This love is pain… this is desperation

(Ad-libs: “Ohhhh I neeeed you, yeahhh!”)

(Runs: “De-sper-a-a-a-tion…”)

⸻

Every song on the radio feel like you (uh yeah)

Every mirror got me searchin’ for truth

Tried to move on, but I can’t pretend

You was more than a lover, you was my best friend

(Ad-lib: “Sooo lost without you…”)

(Run: “Wi-thooout youuuuu…”)

Can’t fill this hole in my chest

You took my calm, left me stress

I’d rather feel the pain than be numb

If pain’s all I got, let it come…

⸻

If I scream, will you hear me? (uhhh yeah)

If I break, will you feel me? (feel me!)

You got me twisted, cold and alone

Crawlin’ in shadows, stuck on your tone…

(Ad-libs: “Still hear your name in the dark… yeah yeah…”)

(Runs: “Wooooooo-ooo-ooo-oooh”)

⸻

Desperation… ohhhh ohhh (ahhh ha, umm umm)

Gaspin’ in this suffocation (uhhh huh, yeahh)

Every heartbeat callin’ your name (whoo woo)

But all I get is silence and shame

I ain’t too proud to cry (nooo)

You the reason I still try (still tryyy)

Girl, please feel this vibration…

I’m dyin’ in… (pause)

Desperation

(Ad-libs: “So lost… so loooost in you…”)

(Final run: “D-e-e-e-e-esper-a-a-a-a-tion…”)

⸻

Mmm… umm umm… ahhh ha… woo woo…

Desperation… ohhhh yeah yeah…
