About Passion

"Passion" is a song by Rod Stewart that first appeared in 1980 on his album Foolish Behaviour. It was the lead single and greatest hit from the album. The song reached number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two in Canada. It was also a sizeable hit across Europe. "Passion" describes the ubiquity of the phenomenon, delineating its universality by listing many of the people, places, and situations in which it is found. Passion is described as a powerful but dangerous essential motivator, being so compelling that it is prone to sometimes break outside the boundaries of loving relationships. 'Hear it on the radio' and 'read it in the papers' speaks of the potentially disruptive power of unleashed desire. The song was also released as a 12-inch promotional single with an extended running time of 7:30. "Passion" was prominently featured in the sleazy 1984 drama film New York Nights (later known as Shackin' Up). more »

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 on the radio, passion,
Read it in the paper, 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, yeah

Alone in your bed at night, passion,
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion,
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

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 passion
