Cupidity (noun): Eager or excessive desire, esp. to possess something
All through the day — I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
All through the night — I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Now they’re frightened of leaving it
Everyone’s weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through the day — I me mine.
All I can hear — I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears — I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No one’s frightened of playing it
Everyone’s saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day — I me mine.
