Hungry

by Eric Clapton

on No Reason To Cry (1976)

Last night as I stepped into the stage lights
I heard the people cry when they saw my face
There's nothin' like our hearts beatin' in time
The crowd may inspire, you give me my strength

Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while

I've been slipping into desperation
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed
Your absence is controlling my defenses
My life is senseless without you by my side

Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while

Hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while

Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy
Every 'no' becomes the 'maybe', never takes too long
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do
You don't know what I'm going through, everything seems wrong

Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
