Stronger Than Pride

Sade Stronger Than Pride Lyrics
1.Love Is Stronger Than Pride

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Andrew Hale/Stuart Matthewman

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
Mmmm

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mmmm

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
Mmmm

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mm mm mm mm mm

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow

I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger
I still really love you
Love is stronger than pride


2.Paradise

Written:Sade Adu/Stuart Matthewman/Andrew Hale/Paul Denman

I'd wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine

Feels like
You're mine
Feels right
So fine
I'm yours
You're mine
Like paradise

I'd give you the world if it was mine
Feels fine

Feels like
You're mine
Feels right
So fine
I'm yours
You're mine
Like paradise

I'd wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine

Feels like
You're mine
Feels right
So fine
I'm yours
You're mine
Like paradise

Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life

I wanna share my life
Wanna share my life with you
Wanna share my life

I wanna share my life
Wanna share my life with you
Wanna share my life

Oooh what a life
Like paradise


3.Nothing Can Come Between Us

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Stuart Matthewman

I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender
So hold on
In the middle of the madness

When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still
Can't pull us apart

Nothing can come
Between us
Nothing can pull us apart
Can come
Between us

I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on

So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this
And this is everlasting
Hold on

It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah yeah
It's about faith
It's about trust

Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us

Can come
Can tear
Can pull
Us apart

Can come
Can tear
Can pull
Us apart


4.Haunt Me

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Stuart Matthewman

Haunt me
In my dreams
If you please
Your breath is with me now and always
It's like a breeze

So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me

And if you want to sleep
I'll be quiet
Like an angel
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew
You had a friend like me

So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me


5.Turn My Back On You

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Andrew Hale/Stuart Matthewman

To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me

No (don't say) I'm not gonna turn my back on you
You know I'll never let you down (ah ha)
No way
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down no way

Try to tell you that it's alright
Oooh I'm not playing
Can't you see what I'm saying
You are my religion

To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me

No (don't say) I'm not gonna turn my back on you
You know I'll never let you down (ah ha)
No way
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down no way

Try to tell you that it's alright
Oooh I'm not playing
Can't you see what I'm saying
You are my religion

To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me


6.Keep Looking

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Andrew Hale

Some will tell you that you're wrong
You do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way

They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Say let my life alone

Some will tell you that you're wrong
You do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way

They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Keep looking
Keep looking

Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Thinking about your problems
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Keep looking
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Thinking about your problems
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your problems
Keep looking

Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Keep looking


7.Clean Heart

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Andrew Hale/Stuart Matthewman

Clean heart
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start

He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and tony called him mister
They made him feel much more
Like a man
He loved his daddy though he never told him
And how he loved his mother
He loved
He loved her like an italian

Little janet said you look so fine
So fine
Something in his smile
Made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt
With a lover's touch
And he said I'm gonna bring home
The things that are out of your clutch

Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying

Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mocking and people stop to see
Their greedy eyes don't realise
He's someone's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Finger on the trigger for the years to come


8.Give It Up

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Andrew Hale/Stuart Matthewman

Tell me the secrets of your soul
Give it up and let go

Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all

I give you it all
I couldn't give you more if I tried
I give you my love
I give you everything I feel inside
I give you my life
It isn't a lie
I tell only the truth
I give you my love
I think I'd even die for you

Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me
Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me

Tell me the secrets of your soul
Give it up and let go

I give you my love
I couldn't give you more if I tried
I give you it all
I give you everything I feel inside
I give you my life
It isn't a lie
I tell only the truth
I give you my love
I think I'd even die for you

Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me
Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me

Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all
Give it up
Give it all


9.I'd Never Thought I'd See The Day

Lyrics:Sade Adu
Music:Sade Adu/Leroy Osbourne

You shed a shadow on my life
Shed a shadow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie

I could see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise

But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day

You put a shadow on a love
Took a shelter of a lie
Took the shelter out of my life

I wish you could shelter me
Shelter me now
I need a miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
