Альбом Joan Armatrading

There's a lot of things
You should hold dear
Keep in your heart
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Pride and dignity
A sense of self
Hold on

When that boy leaves
And you need someone to turn to
When you feel alone
You will know you're not alone
If you've been true
To all who are true to you
You'll make it
You'll make it fine

If you remember your friends
Just remember you can call
Just remember that passion fades
Good friendships seldom die
Go ahead have your fun
But don't turn your back on everyone
Though the body needs love
There is more than one kind

More
More than one kind of love
There is more
More than one kind

Yes he fills your heart
Fills your mind
He's all you want
All you need
Everything
Everything
Everything but

Love that's that exclusive
That obsessive
Can hurt

When that love pales
And becomes human emotion
Where will you go
If you've neglected those you know
But if you stay true
To those who are true to you
You'll make it
You'll make it fine

If you remember your friends
Just remember you can call
Just remember that passion fades
Good friendships seldom die
Go ahead have your fun
But don't turn your back on everyone
Though the body needs love
There is more than one kind

More
More than one kind of love
There is more
More than one kind

You've got the sweet innocent smile
Eyes to idolize
Shivers down my spine
Take my breath away
I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the heart you saved

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers

People let me say
Mmm this is nice
I know you think I'm foolish
And I'm making a mistake but
To me this is perfect
I want to

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I can't believe it's really happening to me

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

I want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and took my tears away
And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and stole my heart away

And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

All this time I have followed the rules
And I've lived the perfect life
Alright
By somebody else's standards
All this time I did not feel too bad
But I was not what you call happy
Not really
I was searching for something
And all this time you were standing by
And all this time you were waiting

All this time I've been living a lie
And I even fooled myself completely
Now I'm really ready
Right or wrong
I will follow your course
And if you go down I'll drown
So save me
I'm not as strong as I look yea
All this time I've been saying
No
But all this time
I've been meaning

Yes I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
Ooh yeah, let's talk about it
I'm a fool for you
Ducking and diving
'Cos I'm a fool for you
All this time I've been saying
No
But all this time
I've been meaning

Yes I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land

Someone's in the background
While we're on the phone
Giving you the answers
Where do they get
All this information
And how

Put'em on the phone right now
I want to pick their brains tonight
They can tell me where I'm going wrong
They can tell me how to make love

Put'em on the phone right now
I want to talk to the stealer
They can tell me how they hurt inside
Because they know how much I'm hurting
They can say that when a good love dies
I'll find some comfort in my memories

Someone made you question
The love we had
The love we had
Should have lasted a thousand years
You've been persuaded that was way too long
Put'em on the phone right now
I want to talk to the person
Who taught you how to spread your wings

Communication breakdown
I thought you cared
I thought you cared
When did we get to this position
And how
Tell me on the phone right now
You're going to sleep on your own tonight
I can find you out in a lie
You can't disguise the passion

I'm coming round there now
I want to see this angel
Once you're caught
Then there's no turning back
Like a rat you won't escape the trap

Tell me on the phone right now
You're going to sleep on your own tonight
I can find you out in a lie
You can't disguise the passion
And you can say that now our love has died
I'll find some comfort in my memories

I've tried hard to escape
From this feeling of wanting you
But I know you as well
As I know myself

And as hard as you try
To deny that you care for me
You know I can read
What your lips won't say
Oh darling

We can't stay close
We can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do

Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling

We may argue and fight
And the tears run wild
But it's where we belong
In each other's arms
Oh darling

Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do

Everything I try to give you
Everything I try to do
There's no pleasing you
You want the stars in the morning
And the sun dead of night
You place immovable objects
In my plain sight

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine

Never held out on affection
Gave you most material things
There's no pleasing you
You called me your lover
Did I treat you that bad
You really want me to suffer
But I can take so much

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine
Please

It's like I'm in a movie
And I'm the villain of the piece
You're some sweet angel child
Even strangers blame me
While you come up smelling sweet
How come I'm always cast in all the tragedies

I can remember when
We used to talk of getting old
We'd act our parts and roll with laughter
On the floor

Well we're not acting now
It's cold it's as a war
You shut me out
Where once you'd open every door
This could make comedy
If it wasn't for the tragedy
How could you hide
Your love away from me

You can't really hate me
Though you've said it once before
But there's something in the air tonight
I can remember when
We used to talk

I can remember when
We used to talk of getting old
We'd act our parts and roll with laughter
On the floor
This could make comedy if it wasn't for the tragedy
How could you hide
Your love away from me

You never say
I love you
You have to add
Always

And if I cry
You wipe the tears away
You say you'll be here darling
Always

But always is a long long time
And time can change so much
I want to stay with you
Always

Oh the gifts that you bring
Darling you have given me
The joy of living
In every way

After all this time
Things haven't changed so much
I want to stay with you
Always
You still say I love you
Always

I don't wanna get up
A couple of hours after we've made love
I don't wanna go home, baby
I don't wanna leave your bed

You're right for me
And I'm a fool if I try to leave
I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me
Hey yeah
Good times

You give me good time, baby
You give me good times
You give me good time love

I don't wanna give up
Darling all the happiness you gave to me
Your Hurculezion body
Right next to me
Hey yeah

More passion, more passion, more passion
More passion than I ever did see
You kiss me on fire
I'm burning up
I'm burning up
Good times

You give me good time, baby
Good times
You give me good time
You give me time love
You give me sweet time, baby
You give me sweet time love
You give me good times
Good times
You give me good time love

Never in my wildest dreams
Could I imagine how you make me feel
The feeling is real
Touch me, baby
Touch me, baby

Can't get up
After we've made love
I don't wanna go home baby
I don't wanna leave your bed
Hey yeah

Good times
Give me good time, baby
You give me good time love
You give me good times
Hey yeah
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
Good times

Give me good time, baby
You give me good time love
You give me good time love
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
Good times
You give me good time, baby
You give me good time love

Somehow you supply
All of the answers
I've fallen for your lack of mystery
Your honest emotions
Your love for me
Has opened up my world
Renewed my taste for life
Nothing was easy
Till you
You came
Everything else just fell into place
Till you
Daily routine was dragging me down

But somewhere deep inside
All disillusions
Were shattered by your hand touching mine
The strength of a new love
Can conquer all
I ever want is here
By any other name
The power of love

You came
Everything else just fell into place
You made all of the bad times
Just disappear
My step is light
You made my soul and my spirits fly
And how my fortune changed
The power of change

All I ask of all my hopes
My one recurring dream
The power of dreams
The power of dreams
