Labour Of Love 2

Ub40 Labour Of Love 2 Lyrics
1.Baby

Baby be true and I'll give my love to you,
I need you baby.
Treat me right and I'll love you day and night,
I mean it baby.

When you're down I'll be around,
To guide you baby.
When you're free just call on me, baby.
I'll give my heart to you, now babe.
I'll do what you ask me too, now babe.
I mean it baby.

I'm gonna treat you, treat you right
I'm gonna love you day and night
I'm gonna give my heart away
I'm gonna love you night and day
Baby, baby.


2.Groovin'

Lyricist:Bunny Lee

I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they're going
Half of they don't know
They're the ones who think I'm crazy
'Cause they don't realize

That I'm just groovin', oh, groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' and I can't stop groovin'
Groovin' till I die

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
And I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night

And I'm just groovin', oh, groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' and I can't stop groovin'
Groovin' till I die

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
And I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night

And I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' and I can't stop groovin'
Groovin' till I die

I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' and I can't stop groovin'
Groovin' till I die

I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' and I can't stop groovin'
Groovin' till I die

I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life


3.Here I Am (Come and Take Me)

Lyricist:Al Green, Mabon Hodges

If you are a big big tree
We are a small life
Chopper ready, ready to cut you down
Ready, sharpened to cut you down

I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

I know it's you and me baby
That makes these world go round
And keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am babe
Come and take me here I am baby
Wont ya come and take me take me by the hand
Ooh show me here I am baby

It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves

I know it's you and me baby
That makes these world go round
And keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am babe
Come and take me, here I am baby
Wont ya come and take me, take me by the hand
Ooh squeeze me here I am baby

Oh oh here I am baby
Come and take me here I am baby
Oh won't you come and take me take me by the hand
Ooh show me, show me what you can, here I am baby

Oh won't ya take me, take me by the hand, take me by the hand
Ooh show me, show me what you can, here I am baby
Won't ya come and take me, take me by the hand
Take me while you can, here I am baby


4.Homely Girl

Lyricist:Stanley Wayne Mckenney, Eugene Record

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
'You looked better in the dark'
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
(Oh ooo)

The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh yes I did

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Oooh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl

I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
The dirty looks
'Cause I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don't know how, they don't know how

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl

Aha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Aha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Aha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman


5.Impossible Love

Lyricist:Keith Ainsley Anderson

When we were together
Those were the happiest time in all my life
Now we're separated
I don't know what I will do

'Cause I can't love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realize
My love, that you were wrong

'Cause I can't love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

The sunset outside my window
Has lost all it's glow
The rose in the garden, my love
Doesn't bloom any more

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realize
My love, that you were wrong

'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

The sunset outside my window
Has lost all it's glow
The rose in the garden, my love
Doesn't bloom any more

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realize
My love, that you were wrong

'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

It's impossible, it's impossible
It's impossible, it's impossible

But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play

And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town

I've got to find sweet cherry
She's gone away from home
I've got to find sweet cherry
She's left me all alone

Cherry, Cherry,
Don't go and leave me alone
Don't go and leave me alone

My thoughts are always with you
The emptiness leaves me blue
If you should ever desert me
Then life deserts me too

Don't go and leave me alone
Don't go and leave me alone

When we were together, downtown
We would do things together, downtown
The first place I met you, downtown
There we could always be.

Cherry, Cherry,
Don't go and leave me alone
Don't go and leave me alone
