[Verse 1]
You never call at a decent hour
You always call me in the middle of the night
I hear your voice breakin' like glass, you say
"Could I come over? Could it be all right?"

I hear you knock-knockin' on my door
I let you in that's my big mistake
Before I know it you're all over me
Your love is a drug that I just can't take

[Chorus]
I don't want no desperate lover
Using me when there's nowhere else to go
I don't want no desperate lover
No no
You take advantagе of my feelings
I must be crazy, but I still want you so
Don't want to be your despеrate lover
No, no, no no

[Verse 2]
You always call me when you've been shot down
When some other girl won't give it to you
I'm tired of being your last resort
I'm so sick and tired of bein' your rendezvous
[Chorus]
I don't want no desperate lover
Using me when there's nowhere else to go
I don't want no desperate lover
No no
You take advantage of my feelings
I must be crazy, but I still want you so
Don't want to be your desperate lover
No, no, no

[Bridge]
Your come to my door lookin' so fine
With your perfect bind and your twisted mind, now
Gotta learn to say no and put up my guard
But when you're pressin' against me
You make it so hard

[Chorus]
I don't want no desperate lover
Using me when there's nowhere else to go
I don't want no desperate lover
No, no no no no no
You take advantage of my feelings
I must be crazy, but I still want you so
Don't want to be your desperate lover
No, no no no no no
I don't want no desperate lover
Using me when there's nowhere else to go
I don't want no desperate lover
No, no no no no no

[Outro]
Don't want to be your desperate lover
No no no no no no
I don't want no desperate lover
Using me when there's nowhere else to go
