I sit here by myself. And you know I love it. You know I don't want someone. To come pay a visit. . I wanna be by myself. I came in this world alone. Me myself I.
I was catching up with my baby. When I saw you coming down the road. I thought. Mama Mercy. Don't let him get me. I got a happy life at home. But as sure as sure is.
I was born on an Island. St. Kitts. In a little biddy town. Had a mama and a papa. Four brothers and a sister. . Mama papa told us. Play hard. Fight fair.
Ma-Me-O-Beach. The kind of place that I like to be. Running on the sand. Or just lying in my baby's arms. I said running on the sand. Or just lying in my baby's arms.
I never thought love knew distance. I heard once smitten. It was wave goodbye. To the clubs and the dance on the tables shaking. Bad boy turned to a life of good.
When they whisper in the corner. When they're running in the rain. When they're holding hands and laughing. Tell me what they're really saying. . Lovers speak is so much different.
It may rain tomorrow. But tonight is all that's on my mind. My baby's here. In my arms. You know we've got it bad. Cos tonight we've got the love virus.
Anybody looking on. They can see. I'm not so good. People in the know. they can see that I miss you. In the night. With no one to hear me. I'm afraid and I cry.
Baby's gone. Baby's gone and left me. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for the thing. . I wouldn't blame you. If you never come back. Darling what you had to go through.
I am not in love. But I'm open to persuasion. East or West. Where's the best. For romancing. . With a friend. I can smile. But with a lover. I could hold my head back.
I see you looking at me. I know we're from different sides of town. You've never travelled. And I've been all around. Hey. Let me take your hand. Hey hey yeah.
I'm trembling. You got the touch. I'm under. And you got the power. . When I feel your body next to mine. I know everything is gonna be all right. . Hey, I'm trembling.
If you could only see. Just what you mean to me. You would never ever. Pass me by. You would take my number. And you'd call me up. You would never ever make me cry.
Let's sit down. Let's have a nice long talk about us. You start. . Let's go out. Let's walk down the street. We'll fool around. Walking on the kerb. Walking on the kerb.
I got used to feeling lonely. My spirit always down. The grass was getting greener. But my winter was coming round. . I was in a crowd and frightened.
I want to say "I love you ". But I don't know how. I want to say "I need you". But I don't know how. If I said "Would you love me?". Could you?. . I want to feel you breathing.
Once in a while. We share a thought. But most of all we drift apart. Haven't you noticed. We seem less happy more often. . And I don't know what to do.
Took my baby walking. We went down to the sea. You know I talked of loving. And you talked of love to me. . We sat down under a bus shelter. And talked of other things.
Leaning on a blade of grass. Looking for support. I got my head in the lion's mouth. I got my feet on thin ice. Oh that spells danger. Will I get compensation.
Kind words and a real good heart. Doesn't mean you get respect. Kind words and a real good heart. Doesn't mean you get the best. It doesn't mean they won't get brutal.
