New Flame

Simply Red New Flame Lyrics
1.IT'S ONLY LOVE

It's only love
It's only love

Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's ok when you lay
Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're giving


2.A NEW FLAME

I was bowled out
I was sold down the river
And her warm heart
Would turn me forever

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

I am stern now
Petty words
Don't believe me
But her warm smile
Is never gonna leave me

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no

She's made of real glass
She got real real emotion
But my heart laughs
I have that same
Sweet devotion

She's turned me round
A new flame has come
And nothing she can do
Can do me wrong

Wrong oh no
Wrong oh no
Nothing she can do
Can ever do me wrong


3.YOU'VE GOT IT

This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it

I think you understand
That you've got it

What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding

I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it


4.TO BE WITH YOU

I can't pronounce it
Don't even understand
The words I mean
My tongue's tied
Up around it
My brain is so tired
But my heart is so warm

I wanna be with you
To talk with you
To sleep with you
Most of all
To make love to you

Last night I dreamed about it
The rooms in these hotels
Are the same around the world
I could really do without it
I'll only hate myself
If I take another girl

I wanna be with you
I wanna talk with you
I wanna sleep with you
Most of all
To make love to you

Oh if I ever get home again
If you could ever
Do the same thing too
I could open up my soul again
I have to get this message to you

I wanna be with you
I wanna talk with you
I wanna sleep with you
I wanna make love to you
Love to you
You've got that feeling inside
And you know
My joy just can't hide


5.MORE

You've had your flings
I've had mine
You've grown your wings
I've flown mine

The only way out is to
Give you more love
More of my love

Not a girl of my dreams
But two hearts and two minds
The strain that brings
Is ours until the end of time

The only way out is to
Give you more love
More of my love


6.TURN IT UP

Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling

Well you've lost all the things
That sharing could bring
Thought you were doing right
But violence and flames
And torches and chains
Are fuelling
These new northern lights
Like prisoners working
On infertile land
Took eight years
To find out the score
If you're sick then you're lonely
Out of work then you're hungry
The sentence is four years more

Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up

Who says poverty and race
Can be kept in their place
By keeping it
All underground
And ruling the country
Are unfaithful husbands
Who spank little boys
Gagged and bound
There's got to be a better way
For you and for me
To turn this hypocrisy round
The growth of a nation
Cannot be achieved
By keeping
The downtrodden down

Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up


7.LOVE LAYS ITS TUNE

Last night I made love for the first time
She gave me her soul, I surely gave her mine
We lay there just crying with both joy and gloom
The joy of what we had and the pain left
Where love lays its tune

Love tears you down
Oh turns you round

My heart bears the scars of emotional wounds
I'm scared so it's hard to give myself to you
Hurt builds a wall round our hearts it's true
The brave learn to live with the good and bad
Where love lays its tune

Love tears you down
Oh turns you round

Oh I swear I'd do anything for you little girl
Nothing stupid or wrong but something
That'll make me true little girl

Love tears you down
Oh turns you round


8.SHE'LL HAVE TO GO

Your chances are running out
I can see possibilities clearly
The poor man who put those
Rumours about
Obviously didn't really hear me

Breaking our backs with slurs
And taking our tax for murdering
The only thing I know
She'll have to go

Your grass may be greener man
I was born on the pavement
I'm standing in
It's blue grass honey
It's a working man
It's more than all the things
That you're demanding

Breaking our backs with slurs
And taking our tax for murdering
The only thing I know
She'll have to go


9.If You Don't Know Me By Now

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cos we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together it should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye, oh

If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)


10.ENOUGH

Alright, you're right
Let's talk it over now
Talk it over now
I'm wrong, you're gone
So you're serious
Really serious
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

So long, you're gone
You'r really leaving me, leaving
There's no prize for goodbyes
No joy either, either
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

Enough
I've had enough
Oh I'm leaving
