Eric Clapton - Hungry Lyrics

(Dick Simms and Marcy Levy)

Last night as I stepped into the stage lights,
I heard the people cry when they saw my face.
There's nothing like our hearts beating in time.
The crowd may inspire, but you give me my strength.

[Chorus:]
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry
For your sweet smile.
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely,
I need to hold you for a while.

I've been slipping into desperation;
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed.
Your absence is controlling my defenses.
My life is senseless without you by my side.

[Chorus 2x]

Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy.
Every "no" becomes a "maybe", it never takes too long.
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You don't know what I'm going through; everything seems wrong.

[Chorus]
