ub40 - i got you babe

They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know babe if 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 earned our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

(Chorus)

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared you're always around

So then they say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain`t no hill or mountain we can't climb

(Chorus)

I got you babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and won't let go
I got you to love me so

I got you, babe

(Chorus)

ub40 - happiness

I was born with so much love I burst each time the sun rises
I reserved the hurt I feel to make happy suprises
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
All the laughter in my heart I credit to your smile
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved
I berode the fears I had and sorted them all out
Took a love offered me and pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved

Oh oh oh, in my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved

I berode the fears I had and sorted them all out
Took a love offered me and pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
My happiness is knowing you are loved

ub40 - tears from my eyes

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.

cause you are leaving, leaving with another
Things that we've done together

The thing that we had has gone astray, girl
I'm missing you from day to day.

ub40 - young guns

Hey hotshot, your're a one man band
The Don on the block with a glock in your hand
With the girl and the ride, you dont't wanna hear
Think you're getting respect, all you've found is fear
The one damn thing you're sure to find
Is another gun, where you gonna hide?
Said you'd never never run, I guess you lied
You're the fool in the crew that died
Your mother cried

Hold your fire, cool your temper
Young guns ever too bold
Hold your fire, just remember
Young guns never grow old

Hey hotshot, you're a one man band
The Don on the block with a glock in your hand
With the girl and the ride, you dont't wanna hear
Think you're getting respect all you find is fear
The one damn thing you're sure to find
Is a bigger gun to blow away your pride
Your young blood running in the roadside
And in the crossfire, innocents died
We all cried

Hold your fire, cool your temper
Young guns ever too bold
Hold your fire, just remember
Young guns never grow old.

Hey hotshot, you're a one man band

Young guns ever to bold
Hold your fire, just remember
Young guns never grow old
Hold your fire, cool your temper
Young guns ever too bold
Hold your fire, just remember
Young guns never grow old
Young guns never grow old

ub40 - tell me is it true

Tenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally
She shines the sun
She pours the rain
She touches me in places that I can't explain
She's got a powerful hold on me
The kind of hold from which I'd never struggle free

Tell me what you know
Tell me is it true
Do you really love me just like I love you
Everything I say
Everything I do
It's purely cos' I'm aiming to get hold of you

People tell her she could do better than me
She wouldn't necessarily agree
We've got a thing going on you see
The two of us together for eternity

Tenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally

Tenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally

She shines the sun
She pours the rain
She touches me in places that I can't explain
She's got a powerful hold on me
The kind of hold from which I'd never struggle free

Tell me what you know

Do you really love me just like I love you
Everything I say
Everything I do
It's purely cos' I'm aiming to get hold of you

We've got a thing going on you see
The two of us together for eternity

Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally

ub40 - burden of shame

There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame

(chorus)
I'm a British subject not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)

As a nation we follow in blindness
No one stops to question why
Our money's supporting an army
And a boy in Soweto dies

(chorus)
I'm a British subject not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)

Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an African son
There's a soldier's hand on a trigger
But it's we who are pointing the gun

(chorus)
I'm a British subject not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)

ub40 - dancing queen

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of
Your life
Ohhh, see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the
Dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the
Swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

Chorus:

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only
Seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh yeah! you can dance, you can jive, having the
Time of your life
Ohhh! see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the
Dancing queen

Dancing queen...ohh yeah

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

(repeat chorus)

ub40 - promises and lies

All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for oh so long
While you sang your serpent's song

(CHORUS)

The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies

Your cut was quick and deep
But then you thought you'd never need a friend
But all things change, and tides must turn
And you let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal

(CHORUS)

The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies

ub40 - drop on by

Drop on by when the sun goes down
We can talk or just hang around
Shoot the breeze, tell me what you found
On your search for some common ground

Think of me when the moon is high
Counting stars in the clear night sky
Think of me when the moon is blue
Sitting here just thinking of you

I've been here and I've been there
It's the same most everywhere
We're all trying to get away
Live to fight another day

In my dreams I will follow you
Any place that you want me to
Tomorrow waits on the other side
Patiently for the sun to rise
Don't go now can't you stay a while
Light my night with your loving smile
Once you were gone but now your home
I couldn't bear being all alone

I've been here and I've been there
It's the same most everywhere

I've been here and I've been there
It's the same most everywhere
We're all trying to get away
Live to fight another day

Rhythm over here an' me seh rhythm over there;
Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.

Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.

Him keep on rocking and him never stop.
Wow and flutter, music just a run like butter. Repeat

Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide,
He can't find nowhere to hide.

ub40 - hand that rocks the cradle

Holidays are comin'
The kids are getting fat
Put another penny in the corporation hat
There's computer consolation now
For every boy and girl
Coz the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world

Sony in the nursery, no need to turn the page
The cartoon generation are soon to come of age
Virtual relationships untouched by human hands
Laying their foundation in the ever shifting sand

If politics is just for fools, equality a dream
Then you'd better wear protection so you never hear them scream

Animated babysitters always there to play
Will keep the undesirables a million miles away
Everything is changing but the song remains the same
