UB40 - The Way You Do The Things You Do

Reggae Music
Artist: UB40
Album: Black Rain
Released: 1989
Genre: Reggae
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
I like 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 have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like 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 have been some honey
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like 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 hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
You made my life so sweet
I like the way you do the things you do
You made my life so sweet
I like the way you do the things you do
You made my life so sweet
The way you do the things you do
You made my life so sweet
The way you do the things you do

UB40 - Homely Girl

Reggae Music
Artist: UB40
Album: Labour of Love II
Released: 1989
Released By: Virgin Records Limited
Genre: Reggae
Lyrics
It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say, "You looked better in the dark"
But now they'd give all they learned in school to be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh, yes they would
The teacher would ask a question
And you would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
My eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh, yes I did
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh yeah, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Oh, you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see
Oh, yes you did
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
I was the only one who offered to carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter with the dirty looks
'Cause I saw then what they see now
They don't know how, they don't know how
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman

Artist: UB40

Released: May 10, 1993
Lyrics
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I 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
Shall I stay would it be a sin
But I can't help falling in love with you
As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you
As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you

UB40 - Higher Ground

Reggae Music
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
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
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
Through fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of the burning sun
Higher Ground is the second single from the 1993 album "Promises and Lies". This was a top 10 hit in the UK following the enormous success of the lead single “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”.

UB40 - Groovin' (Out On Life)

Reggae Music
Artist: UB40
Released: 1989
Album: Labour of Love II
I get my kicks from watching people
Running to and fro
And if you ask them where they're going
Half of them don't know
They're the ones who think I'm crazy
But they don't realize
That I'm just groovin', oh groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the day time
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin', oh groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I see a river, flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin', groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I'm just groovin', groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I'm just groovin', groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I'm just groovin', groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'

LYRICS
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh, was wrong
And please, darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed up by (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties and so do you (I'm gonna miss you)
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, oh, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (I'm gonna miss you)
Yeah, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie

Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try? (I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes (I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy (I'm gonna miss you)
Whoa, whoa (I'm gonna miss you)

Reggae Music
Artist: UB40
Song: Bring Me Your Cup
Released: 1993
Album: Promises and Lies
Did I ever say how I feel about you?
A thing I never found that easy to do
The things that you do, don't need to be heard
You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork, and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home like a steaming train
Foot to the floor in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only that you can satisfy
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home like a steaming train
Foot to the floor in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only you can satisfy
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
