Hear the voices whispering
Always watching every move we make
Love is only black or white
And we know the chances that we take
Afraid of what they do
Afraid of what could happen if they knew
'Bout me and you

Desesperada
Gotta sneak away
Gonna steal away again tonight, tonight
Desesperada
Gotta find a way
Always gonna find a way to hold on tight
I'd do anything to be with you
Two shadows running through the night
Desperate lovers

It's a wonder love can grow
When there's so much anger, so much fear around
But somehow we found each other
Even though we're both from different sides of town
Don't know what they'd do
Don't know what would happen if they knew
'Bout me and you

Desesperada
Gotta sneak away
Gonna steal away again tonight, tonight
Desesperada
Gotta find a way
Always gonna find a way to hold on tight
I'd do anything to be with you
Two shadows running through the night
Desperate lovers

Maybe someday we can be
Be together naturally, no pain, no pain
Loving in the light of day
Not afraid of what they're gonna do or say
Eyes that just won't see
'Til the time when our hearts can be free
'Cause we must be

Desperate lovers
Gotta sneak away
Gonna steal away again tonight, tonight
Desesperada
Gotta find a way
Always gonna find a way to hold on tight
Desesperada
Gotta sneak away
Gonna steal away again tonight, tonight
Desesperada
