Aimée Ann Duffy (born 23 June 1984), known as Duffy, is a Welsh singer-songwriter. Her 2008 debut album Rockferry entered the UK Album Chart at number one. It was the best-selling album in the United Kingdom in 2008 with 1.68 million copies sold. The album was certified several times Platinum and sold over 6 million copies worldwide, spawning the hits "Mercy" and "Warwick Avenue". With "Mercy", Duffy became the first Welsh woman to achieve number-one on the UK Singles Chart since Bonnie Tyler topped the charts with "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in 1983.
In 2009, Duffy won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Rockferry, and she was nominated for two other Grammys at the 51st Grammy Awards. In 2009 she won three Brit Awards: British Breakthrough, Best Female Solo and Best British Album.
In 2010 she completed recording of her second album Endlessly that was released on 29 November and made her acting debut in the film Patagonia. In February 2011 it was announced that Duffy would take an extended hiatus from music before beginning work on her third album.
Suddenly it hit me like, like in between the eyes,
It's a physical ..andwe got it like I'm in paradise,
They say I'm crazy, but I know where I belong,
Any love .. you got me sleepless all night long.
And nobody, like it lonely,
.. your body, next to hold me,
It's not too much for me,
They say it's too much for me.
[Chorus:]
Suddenly it hit me like, like in between the eyes
It's a really good feeling, we got it like I'm in paradise,
They say I'm crazy but I know where I belong,
Any love … you got me sleepless all night long.
I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohh you,
I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohh you.
Ain't nobody, like rejection,
…to dreamin',
Oh, so such sweet affection,
It feels so good to me,
It feels so, so, so, so good for me.
Suddenly it hit me like, like in between the eyes
It's a really good feeling, we got it like I'm in paradise,
They say I'm crazy but I know where I belong,
Any love … you got me sleepless all night long.
I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohh you,
I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohh you.
You see I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohhh you,
I'm lovestruck, lovestruck, ohh you
Huuuu, ohh you
chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
jack frost nipping on your nose,
yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
and folks dressed up like eskimos.
everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
help to make the season bright.
tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
will find it hard to sleep tonight.
they know that santa's on his way;
he's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
and every mother's child is going to spy,
to see if reindeer really know how to fly.
and so i'm offering this simple phrase,
to kids from one to ninety-two,
although its been said many times, many ways,
merry christmas
merry christmas
(Hard for the heart 2x)
I never choose to be poor for what is become of me,
Nor did i choose this Faith,
I never thought life would be so hard to be,
I guess it is just my Faith,
If these walls down go up for me
There will be pretty sure i can lost this surrender
If these walls go up for me,
There will be tell you lost in so many ways,
I am looking for safety,
What is it all about,
For somebody to tell me,
Take away this vow,
Life is a play and we all play a part,
But it often gets hard for the heart (2x)
Hard for the heart
Who ever thougth I ever questioned mortality,
It is given time and space,
And who ever says we belong to society,
The only human race,
If these wall wil comforth me,
There will, pretty sure i am lost for so manyh ways
If these walls come talk to me,
There would I be for lost so many ways
I am looking for safety,
What is it all about,
Will somebody tell me
Take away this vow,
Life is a play and we all play a part,
I never thought it would happen to me
I was the one that they said would break free
Broken promises settled the night
He told me he was my mr right
And I believed in all that was there
And now it seems I'm living with regret
Now I'm counting down the days so afraid
Can't rewind or freeze the frame
Its too late
Its too late
Can't you see the need in me
I'm keeping my baby
Can't you see the need in me
I'm keeping my baby
I've lived a lie and now I face the truth
20 weeks and what am I to do
Now it seems I'm going alone
A stereotype with a government home
How I reside to try and survive
No hope for me but this child deserves a life
Now I'm counting down the days so afraid
Can't rewind or freeze the frame
Its too late
Its too late
Can't you see the need in me
I'm keeping my baby
Can't you see the need in me
If I got on my knees
And I pleaded with you
Not to go
But to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before
This time be different
Please stay don't go
If I call out your name
Like a prayer
Would you leave me alone
With my tears
Knowing I need you so
Would you still
Turn and go
This time be different
Please stay
Don't go please stay
I loved you before
I even knew your name
I wanted to give you
My heart
But when you came back
After leaving me one time
Oh, I knew, yes I knew
That the heartaches
Would start
If I called out
Your name like a song
That was written for you
You alone
Would you still
Hurt my pride
Oh, hey, how I cried
This time be different
Please stay
Oh, this time
Be different in some way
Don't go please stay
You know
I'll always love you
Darling
I wish you well, I hope you survive
I hope you live, oh baby, so I can watch you cry
'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I pity the fools who bathe in you
'Cause I know someday now they'll see your colors too
And if you see a smile besides my face, no, I'm doing good now
Since you've been erased
'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm his lover not his mother
Why you starin' at each other?
What's your problem?
I'm not his keeper, I'm his teacher
Ho, 'n it goes deeper
What's your problem?
I can't control these feelings I have inside
I had to let go, let go of my pride
Age is a number
Don't steal my thunder
Can't love no other, other, other
You're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
My boy, my boy!
Where's the blame, where's the shame?
We're just two hearts come together
What's your problem?
He's not a boy, not a toy
He's man enough to understand
What's your problem?
I can't control these feelings I have inside
I had to let go, let go of my prize
Age is a number
Don't steal my thunder
I can't love no other, other, other
You're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
My boy, my boy!
Don't mind tellin' you baby, she says he's my boy
My boy, my boy ...
Yes, you're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Oh boy,
If you ever have to let me down
In this world,
My life surely
Would be upside down
If you ever find,
That your peace of mind,
Is shattered in so many ways and
I find my feet
Down on lonely street,
I’ll be stood there waiting for you
Boy you got me.
Oh yeah,
Let me look into your deep brown eyes,
Let me share,
Every moment
Every sweet surprise.
See that I have grown
And need mercy shown,
There’s a window to my heart,
If i find my feet
Down on lonely street,
I’ll be stood there waiting for you,
Boy, you’ve got me
High
Boy, you’ve got me
High.
Boy, you’ve got me
High
Boy, you’ve got me
High
But if I find my feet
Down on lonely street
I’ll be stood there waiting for you
Is this something on your mind?
What do you try to hide?
I can't seem, no I can't seem to get a hold on you
Sitting on the bench
You will think we are just friends
Cuz there's no lies, there's no lies that's with us two
What more can I give?
What more can I say?
Cuz I can't make you love me anyway
Oh maybe I'm not the one
Oh maybe I'm too young
But for reasons why I can't deny
I'm a fool for you
Fool for you
Who are you talking to?
Is she in love with you?
I can see and I can feel you're thinking of her again
Lying by your side
You would turn to its eyes
Oh where is the sense? Where is the sense in living with pretence?
What more can I give?
What more can I say?
I can't make you love me anyway
Oh maybe I'm not the one
Oh maybe I'm too young
But for reasons why I can't deny
I'm a fool for you
Fool for you
Fool for you
Oh maybe I'm not the one
Oh maybe I'm too young
But for reasons why I can't deny
I'm a fool for you
Fool for you
I'm a fool for you

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over a little time
Promise me you won't step out of line
When I get to Warwick Avenue
Please drop the past and be true
Don't think we're okay just because I'm here
You hurt me bad but I won't shed a tear
I'm leaving you for the last time, baby
You think you're loving but you don't love me
I've been confused, out of my mind lately
You think you're loving but I want to be free
Baby you've hurt me
When I get to Warwick Avenue
We'll spend an hour, but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you the answers, now here's the door
When I get to Warwick Avenue
I'll tell you baby that we're through
I'm leaving you for the last time, baby
You think you're loving but you don't love me
I've been confused, out of my mind lately
You think you're loving but you don't love me
I want to be free, baby, you've hurt me
All the days spent together, I wished for better
But I didn't want the train to come
Now it's departed, I'm broken-hearted
Seems like we never started
All those days spent together when I wished for better
And I didn't want the train to come! Oh, oh
You think you're loving but you don't love me
I want to be free, baby, you hurt me
You don't love me, I want to be free
It seems you wanna give me
Oh, a lifetime of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you beg, I watch you plead
But your words come much too late
My love for you has turned to hate
'Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine
When I drop you boy you'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down you'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait, now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
You try to convince me
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity
'Cause your actions speak nothing no more
When it's what I've been waiting for
'Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine
When I drop you boy you'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down you'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
'Cause you just let me wait, now it's too late
For your delayed devotion
You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your wrong
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song, you can go to hell
When I drop you boy you'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down you'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait and now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
I rushed right in
Just like a fool
So struck down by you
I didn't know what to do
I started on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart, yeah
I started on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Yeah I was frozen
By the pain
I tried to reach out to you
But I felt so ashamed
So, I kept on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
I kept on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Save me
Somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Please save me
I need saving
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Ooo save me
I hung on
To every word you say
In search of a sign boy
You felt the same way
But it was only me
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
If I keep on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Save me
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Save me
I need saving
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Ooo save me
Ooh Save
I said "Save me"
From this misery, love is killing me
If I'd known you were cheating me,
I would have saved myself and set you free.
If I learned you weren't the loving kind,
I would have saved some peace of mind.
My friends told me you would break my heart,
And never last, we would surely part.
There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.
People talk in this little town,
Rumours keep spreading all around.
And now word has it you've been foolin' me,
I'm so blind that I cannot see.
My friends told me never to believe in you,
You never loved me you were never true.
There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.
No there's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar
You're a liar
You're a liar
Baby you're a liar.
There's no light without a flame,
There's no use in having you to blame.
No
There's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar

All the casualties that I've left behind.
And I, and I hide them in the corners of my mind
All the memories, nothing I could sing.
I've learned so many things, but the bitterness remains.
I'm sick of drying everybody else's tears, with nobody to dry mine.
Don't, don't forsake me.
Why do you break me everytime?
I'm asking you, don't, don't forsake me. Why do you break me? Again and again.
I can't make it alone.
All the judges and all the disarray.
You keep on trying me, but you're only pushing me away.
I don't want you to go, but I can't tell you're here.
You're just another soul that I'm making disappear.
I'm sick of drying everybody else's tears, with nobody to dry mine.
Don't, don't forsake me.
Why do you break me everytime?
I'm asking you, don't, don't forsake me. Why must you break me again and again?
I can't make it alone.
I'm sick of drying everybody else's tears, with nobody to dry mine.

I can't make it alone.
Something in the way
You love me
Won't let me be
I don't want to be
Your prisoner
So baby
Won't you set me free
Stop playing
With my heart
Finish what you start
When you make
My love come down
If you want me
Let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey
Don't you fool around
Just try to understand
I've given all I can
Cause you got
The best of me
Chorus:
Borderline
Feels like I'm going
To lose my mind
You just keep on
Pushing my love
Over the borderline
Something in your eyes
Is makin' such
A fool of me
When you hold me
In your arms you love me
Till I just can't see
But then you let me down
When I look around
Baby
You just can't be found
Stop driving me away
I just wanna stay
There's something
I just got to say
Just try to understand
I've given all I can
Cause you got
The best of me
(Chorus 2x)
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
Yes, we will
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
(Chorus)
When your baby
Leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you
On the phone
Ah
Don't you feel
Like crying?
Don't you feel
Like crying?
Well here I am
My honey
Oh, come on
You cry to me
When you're all alone
In your lonely room
And there's nothing
But the smell
Of her perfume
Ah
Don't you feel
Like crying
Don't you feel
Like crying?
Ah
Don't you feel
Like crying?
Come on
Come on
Cry to me
Well nothing
Could be sadder
Than a glass of wine
All alone
Loneliness
Loneliness
It's such
A waiste of time
Oh-oh yeah
You don't ever
Have to walk alone
Oh, you see
Oh, come on
Take my hand
And baby
Won't you
Walk with me?
Oh ya
When you're waiting
For a voice to come
In the night
And there is no one
Ah
Don't you feel
Like crying?
(Cry to me)
Don't you feel
Like crying?
(Cry to me)
Ah
Don't you feel
Like a-ca-ca-cra
Co-cra-co-cra-cra
(Cry to me)
Cra-co-cra-co-cra
Cra, crying?
(Cry to me)
Ah
Don't you feel
Like a-cra-co-cra
Co-cra-cra
Cra-co-cra-co-cra
Cra crying?
What makes gold look like rust
What turns diamonds into dust
Like oxygen to you and me
We need it more than the air we breathe
Too much push and shove
Without enough love to go round
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love love love
What hurts but feels so fine
What turns water in wine
It runs so deep in you and me
From a fountain to a river to the seven seas
Too much push and shove
Without enough love to go round
I finally found
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love love love
Woohoo
There must be enough love
To go round the world
There must be enough love
Woohoo
There must be enough love
To go round the world
Endlessly, I’m counting down the days
When you will come my way
Endlessly, I fall asleep to a dream
And you’re here again it seems, endlessly
I’m looking for you everywhere that I go
In all of the things I do
Still, I’ll keep looking
‘Till I find you
‘Till I find you
Endlessly, I turn to every door
It’s you I’m hoping for, so endlessly
I’m looking for you everywhere that I go
In all of the things I do
Still I’ll keep looking
‘Till I find you
‘Till I find you
‘Till I find you
All the casualties that I've left behind.
And I, and I hide them in the corners of my mind
All the memories, but they're not the same.

I can't make it alone
I was stood there in the shadows
Of a place we used to go
Drinking cocktail after cocktail
Wondering if you'd show
My head started spinning
My mouth was feeling dry
Lost inside the music
I was trying not to cry
If they call it headache
If they call it headache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please Mr DJ
Won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight
I was sat there, looking silent
He said I stood out from the crowd
He offered me a friendly face
To wipe away my frown
But I won't talk to strangers
Their words are all the same
So I drowned inside this drinking glass
To take away the pain
If they call it headache
If they call it headache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please Mr DJ
Won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight
Please Mr DJ
Won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
Verse 1
I remember way back way back when
I said i never wanna see your face again
Cause you were loving yes you're loving somebody else
And I knew oh yes I knew I couldn't control myself
And now they bring you back into my life again
And so I put on a face just like your friend's
But I think you know oh yes you know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me oh yes in me are burning strong
Chorus
But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own
Verse 2
You used to call me up from time to time
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
The words of love layed on my lips just like a curse
And i knew oh yes i knew they'd only make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in a song
You got your kicks you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more i want so foolishly
Chorus
But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own...
No I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own
Never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I always wanted to see
The colours of your destiny
I always wanted to know if our love would grow
Serious
Serious
I'm a trophy on your arm
You wear me like a charm, yes you do
An accessory that suits
Your new suede boots, oh
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
A joke on my expense
In front of all your friends, all the time
A game you like to play
Which leaves me so low, every day
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
Serious
Serious in love
I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be
Serious
Serious in love
Serious
I'd move to Rockferry tomorrow
And I'd build my house baby with sorrow
I'll leave my shadow to fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you 'cause I'm not that kind
The midnight trains are boarding, all wrap up 8's
I pick my load and I fill my truck before it?s too late
I leave the stars to judge my every move
I'm not going to think of you or I'll get the blues
There?s no sleep on the journey away from time
A bag of songs and a heavy heart won't make me down
I'll give it all my strength and my might
I'll make this decision, win all the fights
I'll move to Rockferry tomorrow
And I'll build my house baby with sorrow
I'll leave my shadow to fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you 'cause I'm not that kind
Not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you but I gotta stay true
My moral's got me on my knees
I'm begging please
Stop playing games
I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand that I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do
I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said you better release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Just why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging, you got me begging
You got me begging
Mercy, why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
You got me begging down on my knees
I said you got me begging, begging you for mercy
Childs play,
I was silly with your heart that day
I enjoyed tearing you apart
Now it's me who cries
Teenage games all I ever did was call you names
I got kicks from teasing you
Now it's me who cries
I have such regrets
It's you I can't forget
Every time I see you go by
I break down and cry
You're taking my breath away
And every time I see you with her
Oh baby it hurts
You're taking my breath away
Breath away
Now we've grown and I'm still here on my own
I'll be tender with your foolish heart
Coz still it's me who cries
Now Im old
Still i wish i had you to hold
Dont suppose you would come my way
Coz still it's me who cries
I have such regrets
It's you I can't forget
Every time I see you go by
I break down and cry
You're taking my breath away
And every time I see you with her
Oh baby it hurts
Youre taking my breath away
Breath away
I have such regrets
It's you I can't forget
Oh every time I see you go by
I break down and cry
You're taking my breath away
And every time i see you with her
Oh baby it hurts
You're taking my breath away
Breath away (x3)
You take my breath away
Breath away
Heard it on the wire
You've been telling me lies
Heard in a sparrow's song
Every thing it said was wrong
Found it on your shirts
All the lipstick and the dirt
Your late nights on the town
Like red wine makes me down
I don't need no explanation
I don't need the truth
Show some remorse for me
And for what you do
Save it for your prayer, boy
There's no need to hurry
Save it for your prayer, boy
I've learned not to worry, yeah
Save it for your prayer
I, I'm not gonna care no
I'm not gonna be there for you
Read it in a letter
That you've hurt me so
Never thought
I'd leave you but
Now I guess
I don't know, oh
I thought
You'd love me and I
I thought we'd last
But now I realize
It was all in the past
Save it for your prayer, boy
There's no need to hurry
Save it for your prayer, boy
Cos I, I've learned
Not to worry, no
Save it for your prayer
I'm not gonna care no
I'm not gonna be there
Yeaaaaahhh
For yooooooou
For you
I, I
Get this creepin feelin'
That you, you might
N start believin'
That we
We aren't meant to be
So tell me
Will you always love me
Chorus:
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Woooh
I, I
Get this strange rejection
Every time
I look in your direction
Tell me am I
Just imagining it
Oohh
Tell me
Will the pieces still fit
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Woooh
I pray it's in my mind
I pray
I'm reading you wrong
I know these answers
Are hard to find
Please tell me
I'm wrong
Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Will you change your mind
Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Wooh
I, I, I
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Treading down the street
I've got the vibe in my feet
I'm feeling angry (angry)
Thoughts of what you said
Are spinnig round in my head
I'm feeling confused (confused)
I'm lovin' life right now
But you're draging me down
I don't know what to do
But say it to you
Chorus
Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Now baby, why can't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy
Sitting with my friends
I wait by the phone
I'm gonna give you (give you)
A piece of my mind
Someone told you (told you)
You're acting like a child
And it's driving me wild
I don't know what to do
But to say it to you
Chorus
Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Now baby, why can't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy
Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Now baby, why can't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy
You better stop
You better stop
You better stop
The blank pages of my diary
That I haven't touched since you left me
The closed blinds in my home
See no light of day
Dust gathers on my stereo
'Cause I can't bare to hear the radio
The piano sits in a shaded space
With a picture of your face
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant you were gone and I'm scared
Coffee stains on your favorite book
Remind me of you so I can't take a look
The magazines you left on the floor
You won't need them anymore
A towel left hanging on the wall
No sign of wet footsteps in the hall
There's no smell of your sweet cologne
I'm lying here alone
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant you were gone and now I'm scared
I'm scared to face another day
'Cause the fear in me just won't go away
In an instant you were gone, now I'm scared
Well Well Well
Well Well Well
Well Well Well
Well Well Well
Highly suspicious, where was I last night
Seek and you shall find
And it goes in my mind, you make me draw the line
I didn’t commit any crime
I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
Well Well Well
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
When I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
I’m not that cagey
But I don’t need to explain
There’s nothing to blame
You’ll only drive me away
There’s so many questions everyday
You make me go insane
I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
I’m not guilty of what you’re saying I do
Well Well Well
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
When I’m not guilty, of what you’re saying I do
I’m not guilty, of what you’re saying I do
Well Well Well
Well Well Well
Well Well Well
I’m not guilty (I’m not guilty)
Of what you’re saying I do
I’m not guilty (I’m not guilty)
Of what you’re saying I do
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
Why you giving me the third degree?
Although you think I cope
My head is filled with hope of some place other than here
Although you think I smile
Inside and all the while I'm wondering about my destiny
I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Even when you see me frown my heart won't let me down
Because I know there's better things to come, woah yeah
And when life gets tough and I feel I've had enough
I hold on to a distant star
I'm thinking about, all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Don’t you being wasting all your money
On syrup and honey
Because I’m sweet enough
Don’t you be using every minute
On making a living
Because we got our love
Listen to me, 1,2,3
Baby, baby, baby spend your time on me
Don’t you be out all night long
Leaving me all alone
Because I, I need your love
Don’t you be spending everyday working away
Because I’m waiting for you
Listen to me, 1,2,3
Baby, baby, baby spend your time on me
Spend it, spend it, spend your time on me
Please baby
Mmmm
Please baby
I would have given you
All of my heart
But there's someone
Who's torn it apart
And she's taken
Almost all that I've got
But if you want
I'll try to love again
Baby
I'll try to love again
But I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes
To being lucky she's cursed
When it comes
To lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes
To being loved she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
Just to help me
Dry the tears that I've cried
Cause I'm sure
Gonna give you a try
And if you want
I'll try to love again
Oh, baby
I'll try to love again
But I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes
To being lucky she's cursed
When it comes
To lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes
To being loved she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
Sometimes
I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain
That you drive
Into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my lights
I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love
You've given
I give you all a boy
Could give you
Take my tears
And that's not
Nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away
I've got to get away
You don't really want
Any more from me
To make things right
You need someone
To hold you tight
You think love
Is to pray
I'm sorry
I don't pray
That way
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love
You've given
I give you all a boy
Could give you
Take my tears
And that's not
Nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand
The way you tease
I love you though
You hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack
My things and go
Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tainted love
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love
You've given
I give you all a boy
Could give you
Take my tears
And that's not
Nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

It was just my mistake thinking you cared
It was just my mistake thinking you'd be there
That you'd be by my side and that you wouldn't lie
My mistake
It was just my false hope thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope, forgot all your past
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry
I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
But I need to move on, hanging on too long
I was a fool for you right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you hoping for a spark
For some kind of sign that you would be mine
I know it's wrong, I do, hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
My heart was clutching to one fair right
My head was pumping, it could put up a fight
I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
And I need to move on, I'm hanging on too long
I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long
I can't hear your voice
Do I have a choice?
I'm hoping with chance
You might take this dance
I can't hear your voice
With chance
You might take this dance
(You're my number one
Number one, number one)
Do it, do it now
(Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it now)
Say it, say it now
(Say it, say it, say it
Say it, say it now)
I can't hear your voice
Do I have a choice?
(You're sinking below
I'm using my force)
I'm hoping with chance
You might take this dance
(You're my number one
Number one, number one)
Do it, do it now
(Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it now)
Say it, say it now
(Say it, say it
Say it, say it
Say it now)
Please do it
Do it, do it now
(Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it now)
Say it, say it now
(Say it, say it, say it
Say it now)
Instead of carving
Up the wall
Why don't you open up
We talk
I am ready
I am ready for a fall
Instead of carving
Up the wall
Why don't you open up
We talk
I am ready
I am ready for a fall
(Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it now)
(Say it, say it, say it
Say it, say it now)
Do it, do it now
(Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it now)
Say it, say it now
(Say it, say it
Say it, say it
Say it now)
Do it, do it, do it
Do it now
Say it, say it, say it
Say it now
You got the sun
You got the moon
And stars
You get to
Light up my life
Like
A different spark
And the sky
Comes a live
Like a neon sign
It's the sun
And the moon
And the stars
It's shine
Chorus:
Big flame
You take control
Burning up
Like a fire
Shake my soul
Big flame
You take control
Burning up
Like a fire
Shake my soul
Fevered dreams
When you're
All alone
Summer love
In the park
I feel so stone
I got nothing to do
On this afternoon
Where I lie
Crucified
Making love to you
(Chorus)
Ooh, ooh
Big flame
Ooh, ooh
Big flame
Ooh, ooh
Big flame
Burning up
Like a fire
Shake my soul
