Artist/Band: Micky & The Motorcars Lyrics for Song: Desperation Lyrics for Album: Micky & The Motorcars : Careless Written by Willy Braun, Micky Braun, Dustin Welch There’s a lonely man thinkin’ about a long lost love The gleam in a young girl’s 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 he’s down on his luck And the miles are startin’ to show Chorus: So if you’re looking for a little affection Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right The trouble with romance is taking your chances In the desperation of a downtown night There’s a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder Feeling that time’s 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 you’re all alone You think you’ll never find love but you don’t wanna go home But if you’re looking for a little affection Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right The trouble with romance is taking your chances In the desperation of a downtown night
