Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated 
Cheated

In the bars and the cafes 
Passion
In the streets and the alleys 
Passion
A lot of pretending 
Passion
Everybody searching 
Passion

Once in love 
You're never out of danger
One hot night 
Spent with a stranger
All you wanted 
Was somebody to hold on to, yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion

New York, Moscow 
Passion
Hong Kong, Tokyo 
Passion
Paris and Bangkok 
Passion
A lotta people ain't got 
Passion

Hear it in the radio 
Passion
Read it in the papers 
Passion
Hear it in the churches 
Passion
See it in the school yards 
Passion

Once in love 
You're never out of danger
One hot night 
Spent with a stranger
All you wanted 
Was somebody to hold on to, yeah
Once in love 
You're never out of danger
One hot night 
Spent with a stranger
All you wanted 
Was somebody to hold on to
Somebody to hold on to

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Alone in your bed at night
(Passion)
It's half past midnight
(Passion)
As you turn out your sidelight
(Passion)
Oooh-oooh
Something ain't right
(Passion)

There's no passion 
There's no passion
There's no passion 
I need passion
You need passion 
We need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion

Can't live without
Passion
Even the president needs 
Passion
Everybody I know needs some
Passion
Some people die and kill for 
Passion
Nobody admits they need 
Passion
Some people are scared of 
Passion
Yeah-aaaah, passion
