Micky And The Motorcars - Desperation lyrics

rate me

There’s a lonely man thinkin’ about a long lost love

The gleam in a young girl’s eye

The content of a man just in from the cold

With a pretty young thing by his side

But he threw it away like a lifetime wasted

Still learnin’ what he ought to know

Once a fresh young buck now he’s down on his luck

And the miles are startin’ to show

Chorus:

So if you’re looking for a little affection

Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right

The trouble with romance is taking your chances

In the desperation of a downtown night

There’s a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder

Feeling that time’s runnin’ out

The dismay of a woman who never saw it coming

Never knew what it was about

The confusion of a girl who watched as her whole world

Completely unraveled at the seams

Once the toast of the town now it all comes down

To findin’ the man of her dreams

Chorus

Bridge:

And when the lights go down and you’re all alone

You think you’ll never find love but you don’t wanna go home

But if you’re looking for a little affection

Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right

The trouble with romance is taking your chances

In the desperation of a downtown night
