Do you see it? Like this
I can't continue at this rhythm
I don't know what more to do
To get more from you
Why don't you want when I want?
You're colder than the month of January
I ask for warmth and you only give ice
Chorus 1
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
Verse 2
You're always busy with so much business
It would do you good, my love, a little leisure
Relax here, on the sofa, and give me your attention
You don't have to be a poet to sweet-talk me
Put down the phone, use your hand with me
I know that you're hot, but I'm even hotter
Chorus 2
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
Verse 3
As if I didn't feel anything
Now you look at me so differently
And I'm swimming against the current
It has me on the street searching
For something to fill this emptiness that I feel
I'm not a mechanic, but I try to fix it and it doesn't work
Reviving a heart that doesn't react
I don't want to try it with another person
Chorus 3
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
Bridge
Your kisses are salty water
I drink and it doesn't calm me down
I wait for you and you disappoint me
And it doesn't work like that
But you don't want when I want
You're colder than the month of January
I give you warmth, but you always ice
Chorus 4
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
I've been thirsty for you for a while, I don't know why
I'm left wanting more
Wanting to drink from an empty glass
