If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Neil Moss
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding
That's all I have today
It's all I have to say
. . .

Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know
I've been around so many times
That the worlds turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Just say you love me
I never ever realised
It's so easy to make you cry
But did I break a bit
Oh I hope no
Have you forgot about it
Oh I hope so
But you never ever wonder why
In every single pair of eyes
There is a hunger in it
Or it's soul dies
What more can you be than the things they say you've been
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Come on now darling, say you love me
Oh yeah, please please say you love me
Come on say you love me

Words and music Hammond/Hazelwood
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

It's only love

Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

Until the end of time

Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Lamont Dozier
This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

Words and music Cole Porter
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye.
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye.

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller- coastering
Any way the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in
The hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy
Than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do
You know I'd do most anything you want
Every day I, try to give you everything you
Need
We'll always be there for you
I don't believe in many things
But in you I do

Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Just because I've never known your face
Don't look at me in the wrong way
To try and pick you out from all this space
The coldest room in the whole damn place
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
When I asked I was beside myself
Thought that marriage would turn out well
In this holly and ivy age
The day we kissed on the mistletoe train
The love we have is still inside us
The dreams we had have left inside and died
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Lady Godiva the honeymoon is over

I wanna look into your eyes again
I wanna look into the windows of your soul...again, again
Who's to know where time will lead us now?
I can't believe this is happening now
I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes
All the time we've shared between us now
The feeling I have needs me to make a vow
Now as I leave I must return somehow
Cause I wanna see your eyes
When I look at you I fumble, my confidence takes a tumble
But when I look into your eyes, I just crumble
'Cos I know that it's you that my heart burns for
That it's you that I'm yearning for
Who's to know where time will lead us now
I can't believe this is happening now
Well I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes, I wanna make it right

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway
I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you
My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me, feel me I wanna say
Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me
I was just remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good food
Oh the things we did, the things we did
From the shower we took to the very first look
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted it to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
I am the colour of the night
If you could only make it right
If you could only make it right
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I will never forget you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
Love you, love you, love you girl
Remembering the first time we made love

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Who will set me free
My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life
Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I've known
That I need somebody so
Still I'll just go on
Hoping that I'll find me someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
I know there must be someone, someone for me
I've lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery, like the misery I feel in me
Gotta find me an angel in my life
She'll be there, now don't you worry
Keep looking now just keep looking
. . .

Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Mickey
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no ,no doctor got a cure
My night nurse
My night nurse
My night nurse

So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it?
Learning to play different games
Already using different names
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before
When our love was good it was all that we saw
When our love was good it blinded us before
This real revolution baby
Where you're not below me anymore
Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, just ain't good enough
Never never love can never be enough
Never be enough, oh no
So now we've got our independence
What are we gonna do with it?
Building the houses, claiming back the land
Burning the bridges, cleaning up your hands
Cause now our love bears no resemblance
To what we had before
Now our love has something for the future
Now our love will grow the seeds to sow this real revolution
This good revolution baby
Where you're not below me anymore

You've had your flings
I've had mine
You've grown your wings
I've flown mine
The only way out is to
Give you more love
More of my love
Not a girl of my dreams
But two hearts and two minds
The strain that brings
Is ours until the end of time
The only way out is to
Give you more love
More of my love

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had
Something so hard to find
A situation, that could casualise your mind
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had
I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had.
Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with a fish on the line.

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea,
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her
