The eagle wants a canyon
And a place where he can rest
His wings a while.
The drifter wants a freight train

That will carry him another hundred miles.
That lion's only looking for something'
He can sink his teeth into.
Oh and I want you.

The devil wants a fella
With a weakness he can wrap
His arms around.
The champion wants a challenger

Who just might have the strength to
Take him down.
The river wants an ocean to run towards
And pour its heart into.

Oh and I want you.
Oh and I want you.
Oh, every time that I'm around you
Oh, I'm on fire when we touch.

Oh, when I hold you boy you know
I can't get close enough.
Yes I want you.
I could cry and say I need you

Tell you that I die when you're not here
I could lie and say I love you
Pour a little poison in your ear
But all I'm gonna give you is

Nothing but the bare and naked truth.
Baby I want you.
Baby I want you.
