Jean Bosco Safari - I’ll Settle For Desire Lyrics

When it gets me, cold and lonely and despair is growing strong
I know that I am not the only kept away from luck too long
You’re the love of my life, but you’re out of reach
The river is much too wide and if I can’t have you by my side

I’ll settle for desire
I’ll settle for this feeling when you’re not by my side
It’s all I can do ‘cos I’ll never have you
And it burns like a fire – so – I’ll settle for desire

Livin’ with this crazy feeling whitout seeing or touching you
Is so very hard to deal with
But it’s the longing that pulls me through
No matter how far you may be you’re always on my mind
And if I can’t have you by my side

I’ll settle for desire
I’ll settle for this feeling when you’re not by my side
It’s all I can do ‘cos I’ll never have you
And it burns like a fire – so – I’ll settle for desire

Fate’s been approachin’me cruel and tenderly
And if I gotta get used to live with a picture and a memory…
With a picture and a memory

I’ll settle for desire
I’ll settle for this feeling when you’re not by my side it’s all I can do
‘cos I’ll never have you
and it burns like a fire – so – I’ll settle for desire

(whitout seeing or touching you)
I’ll settle for desire when you’re not by my side
(it’s the longing that pulls me through)
it’s all I can do ‘cos I’ll never have you
and it burns like a fire – so – I’ll settle for desire
