Hunger - Florence + The Machine

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

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

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
