Heart’s Desire Lyrics

[Chorus]
Baby, you're my heart's desire
Your love sets my soul on fire
You're my type, you're my kind
You're always on my mind
You're my heart's desire

[Verse 1]
Now, look, when the sun comes up in the mornin'
You're the first thing, baby, on my mind
When the sun goes down in the evenin'
You're the last thing, baby, on my mind

[Chorus]
Baby, you're my heart's desire
Your love sets my soul on fire
You're my type, you're my kind
You're always on my mind
You're my heart's desire

[Verse 2]
There ought to be a law against the way
You turn me on, baby, night and day
I hear your voice but you're not there
I see your face, baby, everywhere
[Chorus]
Baby, you're my heart's desire
Your love sets my soul on fire
You're my type, you're my kind
You're always on my mind
You're my heart's desire

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da

[Chorus]
Baby, you're my heart's desire
Your love sets my soul on fire
You're my type, you're my kind
You're always on my mind
You're my heart's desire

[Post-Chorus]
Don't know why I love you so? (Baby, you're my heart's desire)
But I would never, ever let you go (Baby, you set my soul on fire)
Don't know why I need your love so bad? (Baby, you're my heart's desire)
But you're the only love I've ever had (Baby, you set my soul on fire)
[Chorus]
Baby, you're my heart's desire
Your love sets my soul on fire
You're my type, you're my kind
You're always on my mind
You're my heart's desire

[Outro]
(Baby, you're my heart's desire)
(Baby, you set my soul on fire)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
