Lilac blowing through the warm summer air 
Hint of your perfume 
The smell of your hair 
Sun is setting and the crows all cry 
Electrical storm forming in the sky 
Got a hurt inside that I just gotta heal 
All I can do is feel, feel, feel 
Day is dying and the night is born 
Baby don't leave me so lovelorn 

A hungry dog howls through the trees 
It echoes long on the lilac breeze 
A blackbird sings a song so sad 
Girl, I want it bad 
Girl, I want it bad 

Birds do it, bees do it 
I wanna do it 
The only thing we need to do 
Is get down to it 
Please hear my plea 
Know it comes from the heart 
Baby, you and me got something to start 

A hungry dog howls through the trees 
It echoes long on the lilac breeze 
A blackbird sings a song so sad 
Girl, I want it bad 
Girl, I want it bad 

Why won't you hear me? 
I'm a desperate man 
Darling, don't fear me 
Just say we can 

Lilac blowing in the warm summer breeze 
Floating so soft with the cries in the trees 
Sun is setting and the day is dead 
How can I get it through your pretty little head 

A hungry dog howls through the trees 
It echoes long on the lilac breeze 
A blackbird sings a song so sad 
Girl, I want it bad 
Girl, I want it bad 
Girl, I want it bad
