In economics, demand is the desire to own anything, the ability to pay for it, and the willingness to pay. Basically Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand relationship. (see also supply and demand). The term demand signifies the ability or the willingness to buy a particular commodity at a given point of time.
Economists record demand on a demand schedule and plot it on a graph as a demand curve that is usually downward sloping. The downward slope reflects the relationship between price and quantity demanded: as price decreases, quantity demanded increases. In principle, each consumer has a demand curve for any product that he or she would consider buying, and the consumer's demand curve is equal to the marginal utility (benefit) curve. When the demand curves of all consumers are added up, the result is the market demand curve for that product. If there are no externalities, the market demand curve is also equal to the social utility (benefit) curve.
Roll me another so I fall a sleep
And the stories you tell me are mine alone to keep
Close your eyes and hold me
I'm feeling so lonely I'm trembling inside
Don't let go
I'm calling out
Can you hear me when I cry?
I'm calling out
Oh I can't hide
I'm reaching out to touch the sky
I'm calling out
Calling out
Calling out
Calling out
Calling out
Calling out
Save me yes save me I'm starting to fall
My heart is wide open sow the seed and watch it grow
Close your eyes and hold me
I'm feeling so lonely I'm trembling inside
Don't let go, don't let go
