shoreline gleaming like the edge of a knife
strange faces beneath the boardwalk lights
part of me is dying, part's coming alive
the night's filled with fire
everybody's talking, none of them know
it's all i hear everywhere i go
in a faraway country, now here at home
ain't nobody i know want to be alone
we got the love everybody wants
we got the love everybody wants
got a restless hunger we can't outrun
a dark dream we'll never overcome
you say all the best thing, no, they don't come easy
but you want to gamble? atlantic city's got nothing on me
we got the love everybody wants
we got the love everybody wants
they're counting out what they've won
crying about what they've lost
it's free but you can't count the cost
we've got the love everybody wants
we've got the love everybody wants
we've got the love everybody wants
ain't this the love everybody wants?
