"Desire" is a song written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb, and originally recorded by the Bee Gees in 1978 during the sessions of Spirits Having Flown. Blue Weaver recalls that this version was originally intended for the album. After spending weeks on it, they dropped it from the album lineup. Weaver also recalls that the version sounded like "Too Much Heaven"

Ah... Ah...
We may be big or small or black or white, eternally
And black and white is you and me in a special light
We may be young or old or in between, but this much I know
Together we can learn to grow
In a world that's ever turning it's back on you
If you give it all away,
Make it mine, ine, ine, ine, mine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman that I
Base my whole existence on
And when I get to you my
Desire is glowing in your light

These are the golden years we get to live
We lead the way, tomorrow we can start today
In a special light
Love could be good or bad or in between
But this much I learn
Baby, you and I can learn
In a world that's rearranging it's reality
If you give it all away
Make it mine, ine, ine, ine, mine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman that I
Base my whole existence on
And when I get to you my
Desire is glowing in your light
Ah...
And it's nice to light a fire
When it's cold outside
If you give it all away
Make it mine, ine, ine, ine, mine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman that I
Base my whole existence on
And when I get to you my
Desire is glowing in your light
