Lust

Noun – very strong sexual desire.
Verb – have a very strong sexual desire for someone.

Wikipedia – Lust is a craving, it can take any form such as the lust for sexuality, lust for money or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food. Lust is a psychological force producing intense wanting for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.
Bible – uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness.
a passionate or overmastering desire or craving

The basic definition of lust is having a self-absorbed desire for an object, person, or experience. The Bible has a lot to say about lust. The Bible further defines lust as the root of all evil. Lust puts material things above God. It is not material things or money that is evil; it is the lust of material things. Exactly what does the scripture say? The key verse is in 1 John.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Note: pride of life = LUST to be the best

And it all began in the Garden of Eden:
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

good for food lust of the flesh
pleasant to the eyes lust of the eyes
make one wise pride of life
