Desperation Lyrics - Singles - Micky & The Motorcars

Written by Willy Braun, Micky Braun, Dustin Welch 

Theres a lonely man thinkin about a long lost love 

The gleam in a young girls 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 hes down on his luck 

And the miles are startin to show 

Chorus: 

So if youre looking for a little affection 

Dont go waiting for the timing to be right 

The trouble with romance is taking your chances 

In the desperation of a downtown night 

Theres a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder 

Feeling that times 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 youre all alone 

You think youll never find love but you dont wanna go home 

But if youre looking for a little affection 

Dont go waiting for the timing to be right 

The trouble with romance is taking your chances 

In the desperation of a downtown night
