Lirieke: Micky & The Motorcars. Desperation.

Written by Willy Braun, Micky Braun, Dustin Welch


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
