Desperate Guys

Was it more than attraction and a physical lust?
Her loins, my imagination, that first inconceivable touch
That I was planning, uh, I mean wishing, uh
How embarrassed I'd been if you knew what I was thinking, uh

And whoa, when it started, my first thought was love
Not just lust, because when I heard you speak, I felt warm
In the evening I saw you, you were warming the bass up
Your hair covered your face up
I was acting indifferent at the march booth, putting on makeup

We met up at a party in a swamp on a yacht
I spun the helm, but we were docked
I crossed my fingers, but I didn't beg

'Cause I knew you knew
'Cause I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it

But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you
I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you

Close to you, wishing we're conjoined at the tongue
Can you hear me thinking? I should stop
I crossed my fingers, but I didn't beg

'Cause I knew you knew
'Cause I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it

But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it
But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you

I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you
I knew that desperate guys
Would never have a chance with you

I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it
I knew you knew, I liked you
I knew you knew it
