Real Love

Lisa Stansfield Real Love Lyrics
1.Change

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

Chorus:
If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face

Honey don't you worry, there's nothin' to worry for
'Cos if I didn't love you I wouldn't be here now
And if I didn't want you I would have turned around by now

You've got to believe me babe, believe that I love you so
'Cos if I didn't love you I would have turned around
And if I didn't want you, then I would want you out

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

Chorus

Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fears
When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

Chorus

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

Chorus


2.Time To Make You Mine

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

Only in my dreams
I've seen the way it's gonna be

I've waited for this moment
The moment when we share ourselves
This moment can't be thought about
It has to be felt

We're closer to each other
Closer than we've ever been
Seeing things we've never seen before

Chorus:
I've dreamed your fingers touch me a thousand times
Dreamed the warm skin of your body burning next to mine
Kissed your sugar lips, caressed your hips
Now we're together baby now it's time
Time to make you mine
Time to make you mine

The sweet anticipation of hands I know will touch me soon
Two fascinating shadows move in time

Chorus

Spoken:
I know what it's gonna be
Me and you, you and me
I thought that it would never be
I only knew it in my dreams
Even though you're here with me
I never thought I'd feel such ecstasy

We're closer to each other
Closer than we've ever been
Seeing things we've never seen before

Chorus x 2


3.Symptoms Of Loneliness And Heartache

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

You need money like you've got no soul
Can't love ever fill that hole
You talk fast but your heart is slow
Can't love ever make you whole

Your laughing at my words right now
But you'll end up a tired and lonely man
You tell me love is nothing but wasted time
Well I'm telling you it's the only way of life

Chorus:
I can't see enjoyment
I don't see compassion
I see symptoms of loneliness and heartache
I don't see emotion or quality of life
Just symptoms of loneliness and heartache

I can't figure out the love we share
I can't see that there's any there at all
You buy me flowers and fancy things
But I need your heart above everything

Your laughing at my words right now
But you'll end up a tired and lonely man
You tell me love is nothing but wasted time
Well I'm telling you it's the only way of life

Chorus x 2

Your laughing at my words right now
But you'll end up a tired and lonely man
You tell me love is nothing but wasted time
Well I'm telling you it's the only way of life

Chorus


4.All Woman

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

He's home again from another day
She smiles at him as he walks through the door
She wonders if it will be okay
It's hard for her when he doesn't respond

He says babe you look a mess
You look dowdy in that dress
It's just not like it used to be
Then she says...

Chorus:
I may not be a lady
But I'm all woman
From monday to sunday I work harder than you know
I'm no classy lady
But I'm all woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one

She stands there and lets the tears flow
Tears that she's been holding back so long
She wonders where did all the loving go
The love they used to share when they were strong

She says yes I look a mess
But I don't love any less
I thought you always thought enough of me to always be impressed

Chorus

He holds her and hangs his head in shame
He doesn't see her like he used to do
He's too wrapped up in working for his pay
He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through

Attention that he paid
Just vanished in the haze
He remembers how it used to be
When he used to say

You'll always be a lady
'Cos you're all woman
From monday to sunday I love you much more than you know
You're a classy lady
'Cos you're all woman
This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm

You're the only one
You're a classy lady
'Cos you're all woman

So sweet the love that used to be
So sweet the love that used to be

We can be sweet again...


5.Soul Deep

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

Chorus:
Soul deep is the love I'm feeling inside
I always rise above whenever I try
Soul deep is the love I feel for myself
Only I can make me feel this way
And nobody else

See it this way when I feel down and feel dismayed
The only option is to come to me come what may
I can ask whoever's there whoever cares
But it's up to me at the end of the day

I'll always try to see it my way
I'll always see it my way

Chorus

When I'm blue it's always me who pulls me through
Nobody else can see myself the way I do
I'm sticking to me baby
'Cos I'm the one who cares the most about myself
At the end of the day

I'll always try to see it my way
I'll always see it my way

Chorus x 2

I'll always try to see it my way
I'll always see it my way

Chorus


6.A Little More Love

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me

And I'm so happy
You're the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time

(You know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I can't understand it
Maybe you've found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do

Looking into your eyes now
I don't see the love we had
I don't see compassion
I don't see anything

(Chorus)
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love

And a little more time
I don't see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air

Baby when you hold me
You don't touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby I'll do anything

(Chorus)

I can see you're slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
'Cos baby without you I don't think that I can carry on

(Chorus x 4 and fade)


7.Make Love To Ya

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

I've got to say it now
And I'll explain somehow
The way I feel about the way we are
I know no other way that just to say it straight
I want to shout it from the rooftops

'Cos you wake me up and light me up
When your eyes start dancing with my mind
You fill me up and cheer me up
I wanna tell you time after time

Chorus:
Every little thing that I do reminds me of you
All I wanna do is make love to ya
I breathe in and breathe out in every breath there's no doubt
All I wanna do is make love to ya

You've put a spell on me
And baby hopefully you'll never break the spell I'm under
Whatever this shall be
I know you've made me see a feeling louder than the thunder

'Cos you wake me up and light me up
When your eyes start dancing with my mind
You fill me up and cheer me up
I wanna tell you time after time

Chorus x 2

I've got to say it now
But I'll explain somehow
The way I feel about the way we are
I know no other way than just to sat it straight
I want to shout it from the rooftops

'Cos you wake me up and light me up
When your eyes start dancing with my mind
You fill me up and cheer me up
I wanna tell you time after time

Chorus

11.Tenderly

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

Words have been spoken my heart has been broken
But maybe not this time
Not with you and me
Levels understanding has always been nowhere to be seen
But maybe not this time

Don't hurt my heart
Don't try too hard to be big and strong
Just sweetly release me

Chorus:
No rough hands can satisfy me
Baby I bruise easily
So feel it from the heart
And when you love me
Love me tenderly
Fell it from the heart
And when you love me
Love me tenderly

Loving has hurt me
Deceived and spurned me
But maybe not this time
'Cos that was in the past
How I've been scared
To put my trust in something good that may not last
But baby not this time

I know you won't hurt my heart
You won't try too hard to be big and strong
Just sweetly make love to me

Chorus


12.It's Got To Be Real

Written:L.Stansfield/I.Devaney/A.Morris

All my life I keep on searching for that special thing
How I've tried to always find a love and understanding
To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
All my life I won't take if I'm not giving

Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning strikes me
Will I find the answer for myself

Chorus:
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less than wonderful
It's got to be real this time
What's waiting there inside
It's got to be real
Knowing love know it can be powerful
It's got to be really love
So we can rise above

All my life I try to see the love inside myself
And I keep on trying in no uncertain terms
To let my light shine through

Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning strikes me
Will I find the answer for myself

Chorus

To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
All my life I won't take if I'm not giving

Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning strikes me
Will I find the answer for myself

Chorus

All the pain that's swelling up inside you
Gotta face up to the truth
Be true to you

Whenever you call I'll be there
