Hunger is a sensation experienced when one feels the physiological need to eat food. In contrast Satiety is the absence of hunger; it is the sensation of feeling full. Appetite is another sensation experienced with eating, however, it differs from hunger; it is the desire to eat food without a physiological need. The often unpleasant feeling of hunger originates from the hypothalamus releasing hormones that target receptors in the liver. Although a healthy, well-nourished individual can survive for weeks without food intake, the sensation of hunger typically manifests after only a few hours without eating and is generally considered to be unpleasant.
Hunger is also the most commonly used term to describe the social condition of people who suffer from a chronic lack of sufficient food and constantly or frequently experience the physical sensation of hunger. See Hunger (malnutrition).
When hunger contractions start to occur in the stomach, they are informally referred to as hunger pangs. Hunger pangs usually do not begin until 12 to 24 hours after the last ingestion of food. A single hunger contraction lasts about 30 seconds, and pangs continue for around 30–45 minutes, then hunger subsides for around 30–150 minutes. Individual contractions are separated at first, but are almost continuous after a certain amount of time.Emotional states (anger, joy etc.) may inhibit hunger contractions. Levels of hunger are increased by lower blood sugar levels, and are higher in diabetics. They reach their greatest intensity in 3 to 4 days and may weaken in the succeeding days[citation needed], although research suggests that hunger never disappears. Hunger contractions are most intense in young, healthy people who have high degrees of gastrointestinal tonus. Periods between contractions increase with old age.

I heard the people cry when they saw my face
There's nothin' like our hearts beatin' in time
The crowd may inspire, you give me my strength
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
I've been slipping into desperation
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed
Your absence is controlling my defenses
My life is senseless without you by my side
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
Hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy
Every 'no' becomes the 'maybe', never takes too long
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do
You don't know what I'm going through, everything seems wrong
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
