  • It is only love I feel
    That will give us peace of heart
    In my hour of desperate need
    I feel closer to the one
    Oh but why

    Please human being
    If you bleed they will say that it is destined
    They'll be punching tickets by the minute
    If you fall out of line

    Desperate, desperate

    Tell me is it death you feel
    That will bring you peace of life
    Tell me who won last, tell me who won
    Tell me who won last, tell me who won
    When you lose your self-esteem
    That's when love dies
    Oh

    Please human being
    If you bleed they will say that it's destined
    They'll be punching tickets by the minute
    If you butt out of life
    We're mere human beings
    We die, so desperate, desperate

    Well I feel when you reach number one
    You look like you're bluffing
    But really you'll be blocking the sun
    Blocking the sun
    Blocking the sun

    We're mere human beings
    We die
    It's destined
    They'll be punching tickets by the minute
    If you fall out of line
    We're mere human beings, we're mere human beings
    We die,
    Desperate, it's destined
    We're mere human beings, we die
    Destined, it's destined, destined Writer/s: Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel
