[Verse 1]
Hey you, back there
Crying out in dark despair
Your spark-long gone
Did it vanish like the light of dawn?
You lied, you tried
Playing it off like it don't hurt you
You used to be so full of fire
Now all that's left is lonely desire

[Hook]
Lonely desire
Who put out your fire?
Lonely desire
Who put out your fire?

[Verse 2]
Why do, you do?
All the things that you despise
Your ways so crazed
I could have told you they were born to die
Your heart bleeds, weakness
Playin' it off is so hard to do
You used to be so full of fire
Now all that's left is lonely desire

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Oh did you know I saw what I pretended not to see?
(I saw you)
You ought to think about it
You ought to let me get close to you
Let me start your fire
Let me start your fire, baby
I'll put an end to this lonely desire, baby

[Verse 4]
Oh did you know I saw what I pretended not to see?
(I saw you)
You ought to think about it
You ought to let me get close to you
Let me start your fire
Let me start your fire, baby
Let's put an end to this lonely desire, baby

[Outro]
Sho-do, sho-do, sho-do-do-do-do
Don't be lonely, let me love you
Don't be lonely, you need lovin' too
Don't be lonely, let me love you
Don't be lonely, you need lovin' too
Sho-do, sho-do-do-do-do
