Song DescriptionWhen someone falls in love but the love doesn't last but remembering how it was at the beginning before it was over.
Story Behind the SongThe producer of this song along with a few others was a CA Country music radio man who contacted a group of musicians called Hwy101 to play on the studio sessions. I had no idea who these musicians were but the investor who put up the $ wanted them on the cuts. I had little control of the session but I did with my later recordings. Had a falling out with producer who wanted me to do somethings I wouldn't and he wanted then his name withdrawn from recordings which was fine with me. So I took all 4 songs & radio charted them in Europe as well as smaller offline stations in the USA. Got a great deal of respect from the Industry for doing this the independent way by letting programmers & radio people with the audience decide if they liked it. Won awards for singer of the year etc. from these first 4 cuts. Personally I would have changed this production and you can tell by my work on my "Just Wait" CD. That "Just Wait" project was my production work in collaboration with a talented man named Marty Rifkin who I would work with anytime anywhere. He is extremely talented and I respect him highly.

//: OH WHEN I MET YOU YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE
AND I WOULD THANK THE LORD UP ABOVE
YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE, HUNGRY FOR LOVIN ME
AND THEN I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS THROUGH THE NIGHT
I NEVER THOUGHT THEN WE'D HAVE SUCH A FIGHT
YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE HUNGRY FOR LOVIN ME
AND AS THE YEARS GO BYE I SIT DOWN & CRY CAUSE YOU LEFT ME
MY LIFE IS NOT THE SAME I DRINK AND PLAY THE GAME
AND I'M STILL EMPTY
WHEN I MET YOU YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE
AND I WOULD THANK THE LORD UP ABOVE
YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE, HUNGRY FOR LOVIN ME
AND THEN I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS THROUGH THE NIGHT
I NEVER THOUGHT THEN WE'D HAVE SUCH A FIGHT
YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE HUNGRY FOR LOVIN ME
NOW WHEN I MET YOU YOU WERE HUNGRY FOR LOVE
HUNGRY FOR LOVIN ME
I KNEW I'D GET YOU YOU WERE SO HUNGRY HUNGRY FOR LOVING ME
WHEN I MET YOU YOU WERE SO HUNGRY HUNGRY FOR LOVING ME
