I guess I knew from the moment that we met
That you would be that special someone I never should forget
But each time I’ve tried to love you, seems you always tell me no
If you really, really want me you must let your feelings show

So girl, don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love, ooh for love

Ooh I know you’re young and your life has just begun
And the love you’ve got inside you ain’t meant for everyone
But this time it’s something special, oh why don’t you realise
Honey, just how much I want you, all the longing in my eyes

So girl, don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
Oh can’t you see how much I need you
Oh girl I really, really do

Girl, don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
Oh can’t you see how much I need you
Oh girl I really, really do

Oh girl, don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love

Girl, don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
Don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
Don’t turn me away when I need you
Darling I’m hungry for love
Don’t send me away, cause you know
I’m feeling so hungry for love
