want something badly
desperately want something

Not when my father wants so desperately to step down.

But she so desperately wanted her daughter to feel better.

She desperately wanted a third place to stand right now.

He wanted desperately to know how they had found out.

On the other she wanted desperately to support her friend.

Both wanted desperately to win, and each needed the other.

Finally the day came when I did desperately want a job.

For some reason, now, she wanted desperately to understand the game.

He desperately wanted to get up and speak to her.

He wanted desperately to know why she was coming over to him.
