Hunger (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Betsy Ade

At seventeen, I started to starve myself 

I thought that love was a kind of emptiness 

And at least I understood then the hunger I felt 

And I didn't have to call it loneliness 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free 

The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me 

Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen 

We never found the answer but we knew one thing 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in 

And I can't dress, they're gonna crucify me 

Oh, but you and all your vibrant youth 

How could anything bad ever happen to you? 

You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment 

I thought that love was in the drugs 

But the more I took, the more it took away 

And I could never get enough 

I thought that love was on the stage 

You give yourself to strangers 

You don't have to be afraid 

And then it tries to find a home with people, oh, and I'm alone 

Picking it apart and staring at your phone 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

We all have a hunger 

Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free 

The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me 

Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen 

We never found the answer but we knew one thing 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) 

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in 

And I can't dress, they're gonna crucify me 

Oh, you and all your vibrant youth 

How could anything bad ever happen to you? 

You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment 

I forget to worry
