Body Wishes Lyrics by Rod Stewart

Body Wishes

[stewart, cregan, savigar, le mesurier]

The night closes in on another day
As the oldest game�s gettin� underway
On the minds of a million people body wishes
So you climb on the carousel and take a chance
The same old ritual the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is body wishes
If the fire down below�s gettin worse and worse
You�re so close to shootin� that you want to burst
Somebody�s sponge needs squeezin� body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone�ll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that�ll listen
No one should know
Won�t solve the problem
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes

Away in the distance a baby cries
But you know somebody�s by her side
The night drags on forever body wishes
You can hear the tickin� of a lonely clock
The howlin� wind that just won�t stop
Somebody�s cherries need pickin� body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone�ll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that�ll listen
No one should know
Won�t solve the problem

It�ll tear you apart like an angry sea
Keep you warm like a summer breeze
It�s all we�ve got in a cold cold world
Is to love someone
Body wishes, body wishes

Somethings happenin� in the air
It feels so close but you don�t know where
The poorest people�s riches body wishes
And the cheatin� hearts never learn
Someday somewhere gonna be your turn
Don�t start what you can�t finish body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone�ll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that�ll listen
No one should know
That won�t solve the problem
Where do I run
Anywhere that�ll hide ya
Who�ll be the one
Yeah
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
