They'll tell you they're in it for money,nThey will say their intentions are pure.nThey are scouring the room for the prettiest face in the bar.nThey're hungry for power, they're just picking flowers,nThey are looking for a war to fight,nOr they just want someone, they just want someone to hold tonight.nThey'll say they are looking for diamonds,nOr that they want to conquer the world.nThey'll tell you they're building a tower that climbs to the stars,nA straight-A report card, an island, a sports care,nA woman's cigarette to light,nOr they just want someone, they just want someone to hold tonight.nThey'll say they are hungry for knowledge,nThey will tell you they're thirsty for God.nThey are combing the earth for the notes to a song,nThe world can all join arm in arm and sing along.nThey want a straight answer, they're trying to cure cancer,nThey are digging for the sweetest bite.nNo, they just want someone, they just want someone to hold tonight.
