UB40 - Assorted Songs



Here I Am (Come And Take Me)

[ If you are the big big tree,
we are the small axe
Sharpened 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
The burnin' deep down inside
The love that I cannot hide

I know it's you I need, baby
and it makes this world go round
I'm keepin' you in love with me, baby
Laying all my troubles down.

Here I am, baby. Come and take me.
Here I am, baby. Come on and take me.
Take me by the hand.
Ooh, show me. Here I am baby

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

I know it's you I need, baby
and it makes this world go round
I'm keepin' you in love with me, baby
Laying all my troubles down.

Here I am, baby. Come and take me.
Here I am, baby. Won't you come and take me?
Take me by the hand.

Ooh, squeeze me. Here I am, baby
Oh, here I am, baby. Come and take me
Here I am, baby. 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 you 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 you take me?
Take me by the hand. Take me while you can.
Here I am, baby.


Groovin'

 I get my kicks from watching people running to and from.
And if you ask them, where they're going, half of them don't know.

Let the world 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 moovin'. Groovin' till I die.
I see you river, flowin' by me, heading for the sea.

And I get the feelin' deep inside of me it's so good to be free.
Now I 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 moovin'. Groovin' till I die.


The Way You Do The Things You Do

You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle.
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle.
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume

Well you could've 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've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could've been an our
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could've been a schoolbook

Well you could've 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've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could've been some honey


Kingston Town

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.


I got you babe

They say we`re young and we don`t know 
Won`t find out till we grow 
Well I don`t know why that`s true 
Cause you got me baby, I got you 

(Chorus) 

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe. 


They say our love won`t pay the rent 
Before it`s earn`d our money`s always spent 
I guess that`s so, we don`t have a pot 
But at least I`m sure of all the things we got 


(Chorus) 

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe. 
I got flowers in the spring 
I got you, you wear my ring 
And when I`m sad, you`re a clown 
And if I get scared you`re always around 
And then they say your hair`s too long 
But I don`t care, with you I can`t do wrong 
Then put your warm little hand in mine 
There ain`t no hill or mountain we can`t climb 


(Chorus) 

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe. 


I got you to hold my 
I got you to understand 
I got you to walk with me 
I got you to talk with 
I got you to kiss goodnight 
I got you to hold me tight 
I got you I won`t let go 
I got you who loves me so 
I got you, babe


Can't help falling in love with you


Wise men say - Only fools rush in, 
But I can't help falling in love with you. (REPEAT) 

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin, 
If I can't help falling in love with you. 

Like a river flows 
Surely to the sea 
Darling so it goes 
Some things are meant to be 

Take my hand - Take my whole life too, 
For I can't help falling in love with you. 


Red Wine

Red, red wine 
Go to my head 
Make me forget that I 
Still need her so 

Red, red wine 
It`s up to you 
All I can do, I`ve done 
But mem`ries won`t go 
No, mem`ries won`t go 

I`d have thought 
That with time 
Thoughts of her 
Would leave my head 
I was wrong 
And I find 
Just one thing makes me forget 

Red, red wine 
Stay close to me 
Don`t let me be alone 
It`s tearin` apart 
My blue, blue heart

Cherry, oh, baby

Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby, 
Don`t you know I`m in love with you? 
If you don`t believe I do, 
Then why don`t you try me? 
I`m never gonna let you down, 
Never make you wear no frown. 
If you say you love me madly, 
Then I will receive you gladly. 

(Chorus) 

Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby, 
Don`t you know I`m in love with you? 
If you don`t believe I do, 
Then why don`t you try me? 
I`m never gonna let you down, 
Never make you wear no frown. 
If you say you love me madly, 
Then why do you treat me badly. 

(Chorus) 

Moon and stars sit way up high 
Earth and trees beneath them lie 
The wind blows fragrant lullaby 
To cool the night for you and I 
On the wing the birds fly free 
Leviathan tames angry sea 
The flower waits for honeybee 
The sunrise wakes new life in me. 

(CHORUS) 

And every hour of every day I'm learning more 
The more I learn, the less I know about before 
The less I know, the more I want to look around 
Digging deep for clues on higher ground... 

The fishes swim while rivers run 
Thru fields to feast my eyes upon 
Intoxicated drinking from 
The loving cup of burning sun 
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste 
Of whispered rain on weary face 
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace 
Another time another place 

(CHORUS) 

And every hour of everyday I'm learning more 
The more I learn, the less I know about before 
The less I know, the more I want to look around 
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...
