Rick Astley Album

(Astley/West)

Children cry on the street
They don't have enough to eat
Mothers wait for days to end
A hopeless situation they can't mend

Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

(Chorus)
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

Daddy waits there in line
A little work he hopes to find
Something wrong with times like these
It's enough to bring a man down to his knees

Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)

Thinking of the children
You better be think about the children
Better be, you better be
Better be the ones you love
Better be, you better be
Better be the ones you love
Yeah yeah yeah

(Repeat bridge)

(Astley/West)

Do you believe it what the papers say?
They're driving me insane they push me over my limit
Do you believe it they catch me every time?
It ought to be a crime. Wo, the things they say

There ought to be a reason for turning black to white
Sometimes get the feeling that it's done to spite
They don't need a reason to turn your world around

(Chorus)
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing 
And I'm waiting for the bad man to fall
I'm just about done with it all

Do you believe it, when politicians talk
And make, make the people walk into the fire
Do, you concede, is there no reprieve
From their power game, I know there's someone to blame

We ought to be forgiven for taking in their words
They don't even write them now is that absurd
They don't need a reason to tear your world apart

(Repeat chorus)

And I'm just about done with it all

With it all

And I'm waiting, you know I'm waiting
For the angels to sing for the freedom it brings
For the bad man to fall
When the children call, I want the angels to sing
And I'm just about done with it all

And I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing
And I'm waiting for the bad man to fall
I'm done with it all

(Astley/Fisher)

I walk the wire every night
I can't decide between wrong and right
I've lost control over the thing I do
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

Now the one who never took a chance
Becomes a victim of circumstance
I've lost my way, now I'm so confused
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

All my dreams are far behind me
They don't matter any more
I don't care about the things I could lose
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

Now the one who always played it safe
Becomes another who's lost his way
I can't believe it, though I know it's true
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

And all my dreams begin to blind me
And I was so confused
And I don't care about the things I could lose
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

I'm not gonna fight it, I'm gonna choose
To hopelessly fall, oh yeah

(Astley/Roberts)

Lately I've been sleeping
Far too long in bed
I've been dreaming of you lover
Oh the things inside my head

I don't want to wake up
I'm scared to break the spell
Oh I'm sleeping like a baby
I hope you sleep so well

You know I'm hoping, hoping

(Bridge)
I know there's a dream for us
I know there's a dream for us
I know there's a dream for us,
Been on our minds
I know there's a dream for us
I know there's a dream for us
I know there's a dream for us,
We're gonna find

(Chorus)
I know there's a dream for us
I believe it's true
In a word, love you
And I'm hoping our dream comes true

You know I'm hoping, hoping

Miracles and moonbeams, wishes on a star
These are things I dream of, I know it sounds bizarre
I see familiar faces, or is it dЁ¦jЁ¤ vu
The one recurring vision
Is a dream I have of you

You know I'm hoping, hoping

(Repeat bridge)

Come on now baby

(Repeat chorus)

When you find someone you find someone you love
You know you can't believe it
When you find someone you know you can't deceive it
Your love takes you high

I know there's a dream for us
I'm sure there's a dreams for us

(Astley)

Do you ever feel like you are drowning
Do you ever feel like you are going under fast
Do you ever feel that you are wasted
And you need a little confidence to pull you through
Do you ever feel like you are losing
Does it ever feel like you are fighting against the tide
Do you ever feel like you are helpless
and you need somebody who can show you the way

(Chorus)
You know that I'm always with you
You know that I'm by your side
You know that I'm always with you
In body and soul, body and soul

Do you ever feel like you are running
Do you ever feel like you are hiding from the truth
Do you ever feel that you have wasted all the precious time
that you've been given all of our life

(Repeat chorus)

You may get so sad and weary
But you're never going under,
do you ever sit and wonder why I
Always there for you 'cos I won't let them drag
No I won't let them drag you down

(Astley/Stansfield/Devaney/Morris)

Not so long ago my life was oh so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, said what I want
Not so long ago my life was oh so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, and then you came
Once in my life I found a joy like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again

(Chorus)
I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready, but I know I've got enough love

As the days go by, I see that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want,
do what I want, say what I want
As the days go by, yeah I feel that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want, do what I want
And only once in my life I may find a joy like this
One special moment captured by a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again

(Repeat chorus)

I've got enough love, ooh yeah, I've got enough love, ooh

And only once in your life you may feel like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of your life you may never feel like this again

(Astley/Stansfield/Devaney/Morris)

Everybody needs a woman in their life
A mother or a sister, a man may need a wife
If you have a woman in your life
Don't take her for granted you'll regret it by and by

(Chorus)
Don't use her or abuse her, or you'll lose her
She filled with emotion, strong as the sea
Deep as an ocean, and she'll always be
So high on her feelings, high on my list
She's everything, she is nature's gift

Give her the attention that she's worthy of
Show her some respect
And don't take advantage of the fact that she loves you

(Repeat chorus)

Mother nature gave us
Mother nature gave us this creation
Mother nature gave us
Mother nature gave us this creation
Someone you can count on,
She'll always be there whenever you need her

(Repeat chorus)

Weary from giving so much of herself
Never complaining, always seems
So high on her feeling, so high on my list

(Astley/Fisher)

Someone called me just the other day
I thought it was you, but my hopes were washed away
I picked up the telephone, it sent a shiver down my spine
I wanted to hear your voice, and talk about old times

(Chorus)
Remember the days when we walked
The times that we talked for hours and hours
Remember the way it used to be, just you and me
Remember the days

Think it over what I say
I know it could be just like it used to be
Do you believe it baby, do you share my point of view
You know that I mean it baby, and all you have to do is

(Repeat chorus)

What can I do without you, how can I live without you
The day's gonna come, when I'm on the run
So I'm begging you baby please
Remember the days

(Repeat chorus)

What can I do without you, how can I live without you
So come on girl I'm begging you please
Come on and talk to me

The times that we walked
The days that we used to walk out in the park
Remember how it used to be
Do you remember, do you remember how good it used to be

Come on girl, I said come on girl

(Astley/West/Stevenson)

Oh yeah baby, oh now girl, oh now lover
Gonna stake my claim, gonna stand my ground
Gonna love you while the world spins around
Gonna be with you for the rest of my days
And nothing's gonna stand in be way
Cos I want you baby, I need you baby
I want to feel your body close to mine
I mean it baby, believe me baby
I know it to be true, 'cos

(Chorus)
Every time you go away
I kick myself, and then I say
I'm a fool to let you go
Understand I need you so
Every time you go away
I can't believe it then I say
I'm a fool to let you go
You're the one I need to know

Ooh now baby, ooh now lover
Gonna lift you up, make you feel alright
I'm gonna make you whole tonight
Gonna make you close. I'm gonna keep you near
I'll love you for a thousand years and
I want you baby, I need you baby
I want to feel your body next to mine
I mean it baby, believe me baby
I know it to be true, 'cos

(Repeat chorus)

Oh I know, that you're the one I need to know

When the night are long
You know I'll be right here, I'll chase away your fears
And the days are so grey
You know you'll find me here, anyway

Gonna hold you tonight, every time you go away
Gonna hold you tonight, I kick myself and then I say
Gonna hold you tonight, I'm a fool to let you go
Gonna hold you tonight, You're the one I need to know

(Astley)

I went home for the weekend
I saw my friends and my family
I couldn't believe how they'd changed
They where laughing and crying
Feeling all the joy in life
It was so good to feel it too
And I know just how it feels
I know just what it means

(Chorus)
When you love someone, it feels so right
When you love someone, they hold you tight
When you love someone, it feels so good
When you love someone, it's understood

A couple having a baby
Are giving life to the love they feel
They count the days expectantly
And they, they know just how it feels
Yeah they do, and they, they know just what it means
Just what it means

(Repeat chorus)

It's just about time for a change
It's just about time for me to rearrange
Just about time for a change
It's just about time for me to rearrange my life
