Corinne Bailey Rae  Lyrics
1.Like A Star

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look i can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh.,..
Your love,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands


2.Enchantment

I wait for you.
I don't know why.
all i know is i can't hide.
at this temperature you could take over my mind.
like gossamer, you softly touch.
he draws me in, i'm powerless.
he possesses an enchantment.

tell me i'm forgiven.
he calls, don't know how i fell under his spell.
lately i've been driven. he smiles, an enchantment.

i wait for you.
I'm mesmerized this love is like a potion in disguise.
i'd tightrope walk with a blindfold on my eyes.
I can't escape, or so it seems.
I'd run away, he's in my dreams.
he possesses an enchantment.

tell me i'm forgiven.
he calls, don't know how i fell under his spell.
lately i've been driven.
he smiles, an enchantment.

it's the kind of sleepwalk that never ends.
a type of loan with no dividends.
it's a parlour game where you're given chase.
guess it could be called an acquired taste.
i know, he knows, he calls, i go, i know.
this could be an enchantment.

why don't you tell me i'm forgiven?
he calls, don't you know how i fell under his spell.
i'm forgiven...lately i've been driven.
he smiles and i give in,
an enchantment.


3.Put Your Records On

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Gotta love that afro hairdo.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any
longer.
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow


4.Trouble Sleeping

It's late and I'm feeling so tired
Having trouble sleeping
This constant compromise
Between thinking and breathing

Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Tell me I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
Don't say I'm falling in love

Some kind of therapy
Is all I need
Please believe me
Some instant remedy
That can cure me completely

Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Tell me I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
Don't say I'm falling in love

Cause I've been there before
It's not enough
So nobody say it
Don't even say it
I got my eyes shut
Whoah, no
Whoah, no, no, no

Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Tell me I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
Don't say I'm falling in love

Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love

Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love


5.Call Me When You Get This

How does it feel being in these arms?
what's it really like to be loved?
i've been alone now, how long?
have you ever loved the way that i have?
and i have often wondered who,
who could love you the way i do?
now i just want you to know, how i'm touched deep in my soul
just being with you.
and i need you more each day.
baby, if you're still awake,
call me when you get this.
i've got all this poetry now i didn't know then.
i kept inside. guess i had never seen anything beautiful
till i first saw you asleep at night.
and i have often wondered who,
who could love you the way i do?
now i just want you to know,
how i'm touched deep in my soul
just being with you.
and i need you more each day.
baby, if you're still awake,
call me when you get this.
i just wanted to know what it was like, what's it really like to
be loved?
these little volcanoes came as a surprise to me.
i never thought i could be this way.
and i have been cautious and i've tried to keep to myself, but
who could love you the way i do?
now i just want you to know, how i'm touched deep in my soul.
just being with you.
so much more each day,
baby, if you're still awake,
call me when you get this


6.Choux Pastry Heart

I was just waiting for your phonecall
When they came along to say
That a rose don't chase you clear away

You had said i was gamine
But we didnt mean the same thing i think
Broke my choux pastry heart
Guess life's no picture postcard

One for sorrow
Two for joy

Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Don' t wanna lose ya
Don't even own ya, yeah
I just wanna stay right here
until never dawns, yeah

Oooh
Mmmm

I was just waiting for your answer
Still, you made your own apologies
I cried so much I had to leave

Three for a girl
Four for a boy, oh

Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Don' t wanna lose ya, yeah
Don't even own ya, yeah
I just wanna stay right here
until never dawns, yeah

Oooh
Oooh


7.Breathless

Seems like everyone else has a love just for them,
I dont mind, we have such a good time,
My best friend, but sometimes, well,
I wish we could be more than friends,
Tell me do you know?
Tell me do you know?
oh..

I get so breathless, when you call my name,
I've often wonderd, do you feel the same?
There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity
When we're all alone,
So don't tell me
You can't see
What im thinking of.

I can understand that you don't want to cross the line,
and you know i can't promise you things,
will turn out fine,
But i have to be honest, I want you to be mine
Tell me do you know?
Tell me do you know?
oh...

I get so breathless, when you call my name,
I've often wonderd, do you feel the same?
There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity
When we're all alone,
So don't tell me
You can't see
Oh!

Cause ive tried to do this right in your own time
I've been telling you with my eyes, my heart's on fire,
Why dont you realise?
Tell me do you know?
Tell me do you know?
I get so breathless...


8.I'd Like To

Lying with you reminds me of those days
Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave
Mother's in the garden inviting everyone
Ooo, we'd cut off our old jeans and go outside.
Neighbour's a;ways smiling with a baby on her knee
Rhea sat on the front step getting her hair combed out and
greased
And music, the bass booming, pours from a car parked in the
street
Got that new song on repeat.

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.

Growing up we didn't have a lot of money
Used to spend our summers having parties on the drive
Plastic cups for rum and punch, eating chicken that's hot and
sweet
All the women discussing what love is like
Ooh you know what I mean, and I'm just sitting watching hoping
the boys will call for me
Got that new song on repeat.

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.

Maybe then I will know I want somebody
Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love
Now you come andyou go right by me,
I know I'm in love

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things


9.Butterfly

In my mother's house
there's a photograph
of a day gone past
always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
wary of the world
she got much to learn
get her fingers burned
an infinty
between you and me
coz we're family
said that i'd be fine
give me all your time
and I left your side
like a butterfly

shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the red rose sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
would you live your life
like a butterfly

In my mother's house
there was happiness
I ride my myself in it
was my cresolence
as my life unfolds
see a pattern through
of you protecting me
and i protecting you
what was i to say
make your own mistakes
make sure that you remain the same
now i realise
what was on your mind
when i left your side
like a butter fly

shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the red rose sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
give me life
like a butterfly

shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the red rose sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
give me life
like a butterfly


10.Seasons Change

Oh oh oh...
maybe you've been puoring everything into this your mistake of
this
it turns to agony, you contradict this when it comes to this
you can't hide from me, but don't you surrender anything..
don't you know that, that patience is a virtue, and life is a
waiting game..don't you know that, peace must be nurtured
and all the money in the world can buy you nothing...(i tell you
that)
all these things I've done, all these things happen for a
reason..don't you go and throw it all away, get yours..when the
seasons change.
oh oh...

hurts me to see you feel this way but it won't be always, don't
you know everything got to change,oh... feel like all your hope
is gone
there's nothing oh, you don't have to pretend with me, don't you
know that, that patience is a virtue, and life is a waiting
game, don't you know that,
peace must be nurtured..
all the money in the world can buy you nothing, (let me tell you
that)...
all these things I've done, all these things happen for a
reason..don't you go and throw it all away, get yours..when the
seasons change
oh oh oh...
when the seasons change
