Labour of Love II
Album - 27 novembre 1989 - Debaser id 31391

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 babe
That makes this world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, come on and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

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

Ooh I know it's you and me babe
That makes this world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, won't ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh squeeze me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, won't ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
show me what you can

Here I am babe, upon to take me
take me by the hand, take me by the hand
ooohhhhh show me, show me what you can
Here I am babe, upon to take me
take me by the hand, take me while it can
Here I am babeeeeee

Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.
Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

I've done everything one man can do, girl
Said every word one man can say
The thing that we had has gone astray, girl
I'm missing you from day to day.

Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

I've done everything one man can do, girl
Said every word one man can say
The thing that we had has gone astray, girl
I'm missing you from day to day.

Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

Tears from my eyes keep on falling
cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby.

I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they`re going
Half of the don`t know
Let the world to think I`m crazy
But they don`t realize

(Chorus)

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


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

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


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


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

You've got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle

The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could have been a broom
And babe, you smell so sweet
You know you could have been some perfume

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
I can tell, the way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are
You know you could have been a flower
If good looks were a minute,
You know you could have been an hour

The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
I can tell, the way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

You make my life so rich
You know you could have been some money
Baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
I can tell, the way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are
You know you could have been a flower
If good looks were a minute,
You know you could have been an hour

The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
I can tell, the way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

The way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

The way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

The way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do

You make my life so sweet
Alright, the way you do the things you do

You make my life so sweet
Alright, the way you do the things you do

You make my life so sweet
Alright, the way you do the things you do

The night seems to fade, but the moonlight lingers on.
There are wonders for everyone.
The stars shine so bright,
but they're fading after dawn.
There's 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.

When I am king surely I would need a queen.
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.

(repeat last two refrains till end)

I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight

Did you hear what the man said baby
Well be your best 'cause this
gonna be a musical test
So come to school, and I take up the musical rule
Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters
Come To I and maybe you can make it if you try
So be wise and be changing, put on your best
Because I got your musical key
Rub it baby, I said scrub it, yeah.
Cause I'm tougher than tough
And that ain't no bluff
Maybe it's because I've got the musical stuff

I'm gonna make you the talk of the town
No use wearing a frown
Though those other guys may put you down
I'm gonna let you wear my crown
Though those other guys may put you down
You'll wear my crown

Wow ! Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow,
chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow wow wow
Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters
Don't beg for no mercy
Move it up, break it up!
Tell you bout it, it's good
Wow! she's got it, she's got it,
she's got it, she's got it

Though those other guys may put you down
I'm gonna let you wear my crown

And we are going to have a musical ball
So get on the ball and don't stall,
I beg you baby
Wow! Tell you about it, it's good

I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight

That's for sure
Play brand new musical discs from
the flick of my wrist, baby
Wow! Tell you about it, she's got it
She's got it, she's got it Chick-a-bow,
chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow wow wow

I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight

I'm gonna make you the talk of the town
No use wearing a frown

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

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

CHORUS
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
And 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

CHORUS

You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh homely girl
(repeat until faded)
