Face Up

Lisa Stansfield Face Up Lyrics
1.I've Got Something Better

You've got somethin' on your mind
But I've got somethin' better

Come closer, much closer
Kiss and confide
One taste and be sure you'll find sugar inside

I feel your caress
I'm undressed by your eyes
There'll be no inhibition tonight

Open up, show me love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb - baby let's use it
Open up, show show love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb..

Baby close your eyes, take your time, relax awhile
'Cus know when you do it boy you do it to the letter
Stop wasting precious time imagining what we can do
You use got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
You've got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better

Take what you're thinking and times it by ten
Now you know where you're coming from
Let it begin
Tell me your fantasies, I'll show you mine
There'll be no inhibition tonight

Open up, show me love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb - baby let's use it
Open up, show show love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb

Baby close your eyes, take your time, relax awhile
'Cus know when you do it boy you do it to the letter
Stop wasting precious time imagining what we can do
You've got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
You'ue got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better


2.Let's Just Call It Love

Let's just do it...
Let's Just Call It Love

Is it any wonder I feel beautiful tonight
'Cause the spell I'm under makes the stars shine oh so bright
Is it affection 'cause I think I like it
Whatever you're doing to me there's no way to describe it
So

Chorus:
Let's just call it love
You call it what you want call it emotion
Let's just call it love
You can call it a feeling call it a notion
Let's just call it love

You can say that it's right you can say that it's wrong
But baby it's just too damn good
Let's just call it love
Let's just call it love

I'm caught up in the moment I could be anywhere at all
Ain't nothin' that can bring me down no 'cause baby I feel ten
feet tall
Is it obsession 'cause though I like it
It's really taken a hold of me now and I don't want to fight it
No no so
(Chorus)

You can call it anything anything at all
We can take it anywhere anywhere we want to
'Cause you and me baby it's what we need
So let's see that sun we've got all night long
Let's go on and on (x 4)

(Chorus x 2 and Fade)


3.You Can Do That

It's time to tell yourself
Nothing's quite as bad as it seems
And it's time to help yourself
To all the things you've only dreamed about

You don't know what's up
Everything feels so low down
Pick yourself right up
You can make it better baby, you can make it better

You've got to live your life
You can do that
You've got to make it right
You can do that
Your got to let some light in your life

Don't be afraid to cry
You can do that
Don't be afraid to take a look inside
You can do that
It's just a state of mind
It's all right

There's no more turning back
And straight ahead there's so much more
Don't dwell on what you lack
Look at what you have and open up that door

You don't know what's up
Everything feels so low down
Pick yourself right up
You can make it better baby, you can make it better

You've got to live your life
You can do that
You've got to make it right
You can do that
Your got to let some light in your life

Don't be afraid to cry
You can do that
Don't be afraid to take a look inside
You can do that
It's just a state of mind
It's all right


4.How Could You?

I get up and look outside
Not a cloud up in the sky
The flowers are just coming into bloom
All the lovers walk together hand in hand
But paradise is nothing without you

I didn't move your coffee cup
The cigarettes that you gave up
All memories of things we used to do
Now I don't even bother with my make-up
I just wanna turn around and wake up with you

To hold on forever
A lifetime you said
So you can see it came as a surprise
After all the promises you made
Just tell me one thing

How could you baby
How could you baby
Tell me right now
Tell me why you changed your mind
How could you baby
How could you baby
Take hold of my world
Turn it upside down then say goodbye

I try to cheer myself a while
But can't remember how to smile
If only I could make some sense of this
What I wouldn't say or do to hold you
I'd give everything I have to give you one more kiss

To hold on forever
A lifetime you said
So you can see it came as a surprise
After all the promises you made
Just tell me one thing

How could you baby
How could you baby
Tell me right now
Tell me why you changed your mind
How could you baby
How could you baby
Take hold of my world
Turn it upside down then say goodbye


5.Candy

You open your eyes and I see sunshine
I bathe in the light that you give me
You speak my name it's a symphony
And the magic of life rushes through me

Suggest it and I'll do it
There ain't nothing to it
'Cos it feels so good for me
It's wickedly delicious
I've got my three wishes
And baby when you want me

It's like taking candy from a baby
And it's sweeter than sweet
When you're right here with me
It's like taking candy from a baby
'Cos you do it to me every time
Yes you do
You do it to me every time

I dream of that place and you take me there
Boy, this is love and you're writing the story
When you run your fingers through my hair
Feels like the whole world is turning just for me

I never have to wait
'Cos you reciprocate
Everything I do, yeah
It's wickedly delicious
I've got my three wishes
It almost seems too easy

It's like taking candy from a baby
And it's sweeter than sweet
When you're right here with me
It's like taking candy from a baby
'Cos you do it to me every time
Yes you do
You do it to me every time
It's like taking candy from a baby
And it's sweeter than sweet
When you're right here with me
It's like taking candy from a baby
'Cos you do it to me every time

Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet

It's wickedly delicious
I've got my three wishes
And baby when you want me

It's like taking candy from a baby
And it's sweeter than sweet
When you're right here with me
It's like taking candy from a baby


6.I'm Coming To Get You

Take a good look at me
Do you like what you see
Am I mystery
Or do you remember me

I've come to win the game
I've come to make my claim
You'll take me home again
You're gonna remember me

You held me in your arms
You kept me safe and warm
You wrapped me up in charm
Then we said goodbye

Now I'm coming to get you
And you'd better believe me when I Say that
I'm not gonna let you go
'Cos the moment that we met I knew that that was that boy

From my point of view
I still imagine you
So fresh, so totally cool
I've got a good memory me
I can't forget that smile
You and your sense of style
I've traveled miles and miles
So you're gonna remember me

Oh you could say we failed
A hiccup in our tale
But that ship never sailed
When we said goodbye

So I'm coming to get you
And you'd better believe me when I Say that
I'm not gonna let you go
'Cos the moment that we met I knew that that was that boy

So hold me in your arms
and keep me safe and warm
Just wrap me up in charm
Never say goodbye

'Cos I'm coming to get you
And you'd better believe me when I Say that
I'm not gonna let you go
'Cos the moment that we met I knew that that was that boy


7.8-3-1

The way I want you babe
It's embarrassing
I can't control myself
It's just too much for me
I can't concentrate
I don't know what to say
Except your name baby
The sweetest name

And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

When you say my name
I begin to shake
I break out in a sweat
This is the best it gets
There's nothing second rate
About this feeling babe
It's forever come what may
It's what I hope and pray yeah
And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this baby

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts
8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

It's understanding and it's understood
And baby it sure feels good

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts

And when we kiss that kiss
That's when it hits
With my heart and soul I say this baby

8 letters, 3 words, one meaning
In my heart
8 letters, 3 words, one feeling
When it starts


8.Wish On Me

Now it's time to say goodbye
But I'll always be there in your mind
We've had our time, so let's not cry
Whenever you wander, never wonder why

And I hope that sometimes, you'll look back and see

Wish on me
And I will be the best that I can be
And I'll wish on you
And all the very best that you can do

And if they never come
If they never come
Wish on me

Let me look at your face
So I can remember its grace
Hold me close, hold me tight
Never forget all the love we made

And no matter how far, you're here in my heart

Wish on me
And I will be the best that I can be
And I'll wish on you
And all the very best that you can do

And if they never come
If they never come true

Never give up on the thought of me
Never let go of your hopes and dreams
I'm with you every step you take
So hold on for God's sake
Remember me when all your hope is gone
I'll give you reason to carry on
Maybe my hand won't be there to hold
But you'll never feel the cold
If you wish on me


9.Boyfriend

Do I sit alone at home?
Do I pick up the telephone?
Can I keep my self-control with my best friend's boyfriend?

It more than my life's worth to hit on you
The water's too deep but the passion is too
I've got your number in my pocket and your body on my mind
Oh baby why must life be so unkind?

Of all the people it could be
To come and test my loyalty
If only it was anyone but you

'Cos you're my best friend's boyfriend
How am I supposed to handle that now baby?
She's away for the weekend
I just hope my conscience holds me back
I know what my heart says
Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand
'Cos you're my best friend's boyfriend
And baby what a fine man she has

She told me to call you if I needed you
Little did she know just how much I do
Now the water's getting deeper and I'm swimming for my life
Oh baby why, oh baby why?

Of all the people it could be
To come and test my loyalty
If only it was anyone but you

You're my best friend's boyfriend
How am I supposed to handle that now baby?
She's away for the weekend
I just hope my conscience holds me back
I know what my heart says
Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand
You're my best friend's boyfriend
And baby what a fine man she has

Do I sit alone at home?
Do I pick up the telephone?
Can I keep my self-control with my best friend's boyfriend?
It's a feeling I should never speak of
I'm trying but the flesh is weak
I know I'm getting in too deep with my best friend's boyfriend

You're my best friend's boyfriend
How am I supposed to handle that now baby?
She's away for the weekend
I just hope my conscience holds me back
I know what my heart says
Whichever way I play it mine's a losing hand
You're my best friend's boyfriend
And baby what a fine man she has


10.Don't Leave Now I'm In Love

Come and sit a while with me and talk
I need to have a word before you walk
Just before you go let me explain
That I love you

I know that this may come as a surprise
How do you think I felt when I realised?
It hit me like a bolt out of the sky
That I love you

You said that you were moving on
Come Saturday that you'd be gone
I thought of life without you and I cried
So finally I know who I
Am gonna love for all my life
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind

Don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love

Looking back on all the opportunity
I didn't have a clue that the girl was me
So listen to me now that things have changed
I love you

So suddenly my fate is sealed
'Cos only can make it real
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind

So don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love

Give me a chance to hold close 'cos...
I wanna feel that you're a part of me
Know how it feels to love you tenderly
Know that I'll never have to let you go
Don't leave me now I know
Don't leave me now I'm sure
Don't leave now I'm in love


11.Didn't I

I didn't realise that you were someone else
Until it was too late
So fooled by your disguise, carried away
I thought you were my friend

But things change and you along with them
Gone are the days when we laughed through the night
And it will never be the same

I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I

We made no promises, we lived for every moment
Together come what may
What need was there to lie, for heaven's sake
I love you anyway

But things change and time heals the wounded
Where there was pain there's a scar on my heart
Now I can't look at you the same

I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I


12.Face Up

No need to be afraid
But to yourself be true
You don't have to shy away
From the beauty that is me and you

A love so pure a love so rare
And baby now we've found it
I'm giving you my soul to share
So stand up and be counted

We could spend a lifetime
Never find a love so find
Accept it baby there ain't any other way

Face up to the truth inside baby
Don't be afraid of the truth inside

Nothing more, nothing less
Baby this is right
I'm right here waiting, just say yes
And come on up to paradise

We could spend a lifetime
Never find a love so fine
Accept it baby there ain't any other way

Face up to the truth inside baby
Don't be afraid of the truth inside


13.When The Last Sun Goes Down

I'll always love you like I love you now
And this I promise if this you will allow

You and me for eternity
As it was and is and ever shall be

'Cos baby when the last sun goes down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down

With my heart I give you all I have
So say you're always on my side
Say I'm your first and your last

You and me for eternity
As it was and is and ever shall be

'Cos baby when the last sun goes down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down

Every time I'm with you baby
Every time you're touching my soul
Its a love so dear to me
Every time you're near I lose control
And baby when the last sun does down
I will be there for you
Never letting you down
When the last sun goes down
And baby when the last song is sung
You'll still be the one for me
Heaven has sent me joy
Swear I'm gonna love you boy
Until the last sun goes down
