Rosanne Cash What We Really Want song lyrics

We tried to make ourselves pay

For something we've never done

We threw the best parts of life away

On street talk strangers and drugs

And what we really want is love

What we really need is love

I wanna call out your name

I wanna hold out my hand

A woman silent in the mirror tonight

Wants to talk to your mirror man

And what they really want is love

And what they really need is love

We are ships in the night

The water is deep in between

There is reason and we can't find the light

So we sail off into our dreams

And what we really dream is love

And what we really need is love

What we want is love

What we need is love

We tried to make it feel right

In someone else's world

We sat and looked out my window last night

And knew that things had changed with this girl

'Cause what I really found was love

What we really need is love

What we really want is love

What we really need is love

What we want is love

What we need is love
