sade - skin

When I found out this love's undone
I was like a gun
Sure as it was over
Felt like nothing good could come
Sure as it's gonna play and play
Like Michael back in the day
I'm gonna peel you away.

Now as I begin
To wash you off my skin
I'm gonna peel you away
Cos you're not right within.

I love you so
Sometimes love has to let go
So this time don't thing it's a lie
I say goodbye!

Now as I begin
To wash you off my skin
I'm gonna peel you away
Cos you're not right within

Now it's time
To wash you off my skin
Now as I begin
It couldn't be right cos you're not right within
I say goodbye!

sade - be that easy

You baby were like the sky
You held me up
To let me fly
That's just like you to tell me I've nothing to fear

But I am a broken house
I'm holding on a broken bough
Now it's easy for me to see
It couldn't be that easy
It had to be much harder
That's just like you to tell me I've nothing to fear.

But I could have been falling free
Falling all these years
Now it's easy for me to see
Full of air
Sun on my face
Wind in my hair
Falling down.

Flying as slow as I can
I'm not trying to reach the land
Just falling somewhere
It couldn't be that easy
It had to be much harder
Meanwhile, boy, I love you.

sade - i will be your friend

I know that lately
Things haven't been so good
I've always said
If I could ever help you, I would

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo
I love you for a thousand years
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo
I'm here to wipe away the tears

I will be your friend
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

When you're falling apart
I pick up each piece and build a wall around your dream
The punches to your heart
Melt away when you never thought they'd heal

'So trust in me'
These are the words I tattoo on you
If Hercules can't pick you up now
Then I really am true

I will be your friend
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo
I love you for a thousand years
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo
I'm here to wipe away the tears

You've got so much to give
I'll tell you just when you need to know
Get out and live
Pick you up when you're feeling low

So here's my hand
Trust in me I really am true
You've got to understand
There's nothing I wouldn't do

I will be your friend
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

I will be your friend
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

You've got so much to give
Get out and live

I will be your friend
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

The punches to you heart
Come on and take my hand
When you're falling apart
Oh oh, you've got to understand

sade - it s only love that gets you through

girl you are rich
even with nothing
you know tenderness
comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and get no gain

it's down a rugged road
you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone
somehow you made it to
the other side
you didn't suffer in vain

you forgive those who have trespassed against you
and you know tenderness comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and love needs
no gain

it's down a rugged road
you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone
somehow you made it to
the other side
you didn't suffer in vain

you didn't suffer in vain
you know it's only love
that gets you through
only love love
only love that gets
you through

sade - sally

Sally You opened out your arms
To all those young men
And girl you had room
For every one of them
You're the only girl
on bowery and third
Sure as hell you're the one
who cared
So put your hands together for sally
She saved all those young men
Put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for them
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world one angry day, in new york
Take a look at dave he was once seventeen
Zoot suit and shinny shoes
He ran around town
and through his methylated laughter
Most of his memories drowned
But he remembers what his mommy use to shout
She used to shout
One day surely son
The streets are gonna tire you out
So put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york
Tommy had a wife and family
But the needle came between the love and the hard times
Thank God for sally
She was there through the misery
Just a place to lay his head
Just about better off than dead
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry dame
Vince came up from the country
Couldn't even find himself a room
Thinking about his babies
That's further away than the moon
With no money but his pride in his pocket
There's really no way he can go home
There's a picture of his woman in his locket
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone
So put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin
She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day, in new york

sade - somebody already broke my heart

You came along when I
needed a saviour
Someone to pull me
through somehow
Ive been torn apart so
many times
Ive been hurt so many
times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already
broke my heart
Somebody already

Here I am
So don't leave me stranded

Hanging on the edge of a lie
Ive been torn apart so
many times
Ive been hurt so many
times before
So becareful and be kind

Somebody already
broke my heart
If someone has to lose
I don't want to play
Somebody already
broke my heart
No no I cant go there again

sade - smooth operator

Diamond life, lover boy
We move in space with minimum waste
And maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire
for higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending
but somewhere to start

No need to ask
He's a smooth operator

Coast to coast, L. A. to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to key largo,
love for sale

Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase

A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold

No need to ask
He's a smooth operator

sade - keep looking

Some will tell you that you're wrong
Do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way

They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Say let my life alone

Some will tell you that you're wrong
Do it all the wrong way
Some will tell you that you're wrong
That you don't know the way

They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Don't let them bother you no
They enjoy cheapness
Don't show your weakness
Oh no

It's no use sitting down
Don't walk round with a frown
Oh no keep looking
It's no use sitting around
With your head in your hands
Oh no keep looking

Keep looking
Keep looking

Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Thinking about your problems
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Keep looking

Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your worries
Thinking about your problems
Don't lay awake at night
Thinking about your problems
Keep looking

Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Keep looking

If you never let it show
They're never gonna know
Keep looking
