What People Do for Love & Desire (Soulful R&B / Blues Crossover) Verse 1 Some folks buy diamonds they can't afford, Run up credit cards, still want more. Drive all night just to see that smile, Cross three state lines, stay a little while. Some tell lies, some tell the truth, Some try to relive their lost youth. Some change jobs, some change towns, Just trying to keep that special one around. Pre-Chorus Funny how a feeling can make you act strange, Have you giving up everything just for a chance at change. Chorus Oh, the things people do for love and desire, Walk through the rain, dance through the fire. Lose their minds, spend their last dime, Just to feel somebody hold them one more time. The things people do, the things people do, When their heart and their passion take control of them. Verse 2 Some hit the gym, buy a brand-new ride, Trying to catch somebody's eye. Some write poems, some sing songs, Hoping they'll finally belong. Some forgive things they shouldn't forgive, Some give more than they've got to give. Some stay too long, some leave too soon, Chasing a dream underneath the moon. Pre-Chorus It's a tale as old as the stars above, Everybody searching for a little touch of love. Chorus Oh, the things people do for love and desire, Walk through the rain, dance through the fire. Lose their minds, spend their last dime, Just to feel somebody hold them one more time. The things people do, the things people do, When their heart and their passion take control of them. Bridge Some find heaven, some find pain, Some swear they'll never do it again. But when that feeling comes around, They'll risk it all when it pulls them down. Final Chorus Oh, the things people do for love and desire, Climb every mountain, reach a little higher. Make mistakes and try again, That's the story of women and men. The things people do, the things people do, For a chance to be loved by somebody new. Outro Yeah, the things people do... For love, for desire, for a heart that's on fire. The things people do... The things people do. 🎶
