hunger

Florence And The Machine

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

At seventeen, I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
And at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didn t have to call it loneliness

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Don t let it get you down, you re the best thing I ve seen
We never found the answer but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

And it s Friday night and it s kicking in
And I can t dress, they re gonna crucify me
Oh, you and all your vibrant youths
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment

I thought that love was in the drugs
But the more I took, the more it took away
And I could never get enough
I thought that love was on the stage
You give yourself to strangers, you don t have to be afraid
Then it tries to find a home with people, oh, and I m alone
Picking it apart and staring at your phone

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Don t let it get you down, you re the best thing I ve seen
We never found the answer but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

And it s Friday night and it s kicking in
And I can t dress, they re gonna crucify me
Oh, you and all your vibrant youths
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment
I forget to worry
