I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
People falling in love all the time
So why should this be such a big surprise
This happens everyday of our lives
I knew my time would come around
I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
Keep it secret for as long as we can
Don't boast about our love for a while
Camouflage our feelings with a smile
In our hearts we are strong
I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
I'm choosing to be happy
I'm living like I love it
I want to be with you
Want to be with me
I've learn the skill of commitment
I stayed in after school
Fell in love
Fell in love with the teacher
Fell in love
Other people get to be happy
I can't believe
The language of love is speaking to me
I never wanted anybody else to like
To like to like like you
Well I never wanted anybody else for love
The way that I love you
- Albums: Not Too Far AWay
Sometimes you look in the mirror
Pin point every flaw on your face
You say you need so many things to change
Need that beach body
That perfect shape
But as you walk away
I’m loving those things that you hate
I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
You’re to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving you
And I’m loving what you hate
In awkward moments
You grab my hand for support
You hate you looked so innocent
How you laugh when your embarrassed
You hate the way you talk
Could I love you more
I’m loving those things that you hate
I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
You’re to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving you
Yea I’m loving what you hate
And as we walked round the neighbourhood
You talk to strangers
There is nothing I could hate about you now
Not for a moment
You are just what I’m looking for
Everything about you is what I want
You are just what I’m looking for
Everything about you
Early on
As I got to know you
I noticed little things that I loved about you
The way you smile
How you cherished the simple things
You dance to no music
You love the rain
I’m so in love with you
I love everything about you.
I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
Your to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving you
Yea and I’m loving what you hate
- Albums: Sleight Of Hand
Leaning on a blade of grass
Looking for support
I got my head in the lion's mouth
I got my feet on thin ice
Oh that spells danger
Will I get compensation
When you break my soul
Will I get anxious
For a little affection
Oh I feel danger
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
A lonely pedestrian
Walking in the night
And there's no need to run
Cos I'm following behind
And I don't want
I don't want
I don't want to misunderstand
Am I the prize
The laurel and the rose
Will you use me well
Or will I see hell
That's the danger
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
A lonely pedestrian
Walking in the night
And there's no need to run
Cos I'm following behind
And I don't want
I don't want
I don't want to misunderstand
But I feel there's some danger
And I know that you're the source
Well I could try to run
But I'm sure you've got the speed
And I can't say
I can't say
I can't say I'd fight you to win
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
But I feel there's some danger
And I know that you're the source
Well I could try to run
But I'm sure you've got the speed
And I can't say
I can't say
I can't say I'd fight you to win
So I'll just face the danger
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
I don't want to cry too soon
Don't want to sound the alarm
- Albums: Back To The Night
I want to say I love you
But I don't know how
I want to say I need you
But I don't know how
If I said would you love me
Could you
I want to feel you breathing
Your body next to mine
Let me hear your heart beat
Let me hold your hand
If I said let's go dancing
Would you
Feel in my mind
You want me
But some friends told you
I'm no good
No good
She's no good no good
See by your eyes
I've touched you
I've touched you deep down inside
Inside
No need for words inside
Come with me let's go romancing
Let's go out dancing
Let's go romancing
All night long.
- Albums: To The Limit
I got used to feeling lonely
My spirit always down
The grass was getting greener
But my winter was coming round
I was in a crowd
And frightened
Talking to myself
A promise that was empty
I chased it round and round
I was fighting back the anger
I defied the winning smile
I had trouble
I had plenty
Seems I was getting up
To get kicked down
I got no use for you if you're
Only out to treat me unkind
Hold on to this promise
Treat me good and I'll treat
You right
Let it last forever
Until we die
Until we die
- Albums: Lovers Speak
Once in a while
We share a thought
But most of all we drift apart
Haven't you noticed
We seem less happy more often
And I don't know what to do
Whether to be with you
And I'm as sure as sure
I can't live without you
So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as certain as you
That I don't like it
When we embrace
The thrill is gone
But in reality we hardly touch at all
Haven't you noticed
We get more lonely
More often
And I don't know what to do
Whether to be with you
And I'm as sure as sure I'm sure
I can't live without you
So what is to become of us
Where do we go from here
I'm as upset as you
At how our love has gone
When we began
We shared a dream
And all our strength was in our unity
Haven't you noticed we seem less mighty
More helpless
I don't know what to do
I can't put the blame on you
But I can't blame myself
So it's neutral
So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as desperate as you
To be in love again
So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as desperate as you
To be in love again
- Albums: Lovers Speak
Let's sit down
Let's have a nice long talk about us
You start
Let's go out
Let's walk down the street
We'll fool around
Walking on the kerb
Walking on the kerb
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Right from the start
You treated me just the way you should
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
I knew you were the one
Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time
Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you
Romance me
Sweet talk me
Send me weak at the knees
Let's dance around the room
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time
Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you
Good things are happening for us all the time

I'm tremblin'
You got the touch
I'm under
And you got the power
When I feel your body next
To mine
I know everything is gonna be
Alright
Hey, I'm tremblin'
I'm all on edge
I'm under
And you've got the power
You can be fire
Or sugar sweet
Like honey...like honey
When you wanna be
Hey, I'm tremblin'
You've got the touch
When I hear you call my name
Brings me the feeling that I love so much
You can be fire
Or sugar sweet
like honey...like honey
When you wanna be
When you're around me
It's like the sun up above
You may be fooling
But I'm deep in love
Let's stay together
That's how it should be
I'll only leave if you leave me
I'm walkin'
I'm in the air
Who needs money
To ease the care
All it takes is just one kiss
Just one kiss will buy off
A million tears
I'm walking
I'm in the air
You can be fire
Or sugar sweet
Like honey...like honey
When you wanna be
I'm walking
I'm in the air
When I hear you call my name
Gives me the feeling that I love so much
I'm under
You got the power
I'm under
You got the power
Call me on the telephone
Just to say you love me
and how much
- Albums: The Shouting Stage
If you could only see
Just what you mean to me
You would never ever
Pass me by

And you'd call me up
You would never ever make me cry
Cos you know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in
Give up on your love
If you could only see
Just what you do to me

You would never want to
Leave my side
Cos you know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in

- Albums: Into The Blues
I see you looking at me
I know we're from different sides of town
You’ve never travelled
And I've been all around
Hey
Let me take your hand
Hey hey yea
From where I stand
You're in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I see something in you
I see it how come they don't
You're a good person
And they'll come around
Hey let me take your hand
Hey hey yea yea
I can see you change
You’re in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Everybody says
Don't hang around with Liza
She's from the other side of town
The part where folks live on welfare
The part where you find needles on the ground
It's the side where the kids hang out in gangs
And wear the hoodies
And the masks
To hide their face
If you make friends with a girl like that
Well it’s a big disgrace
Everybody say
This that
This that
This that
This that
Hey Liza
I’d like a friend like you
Hey Liza
I think you're kind of cute
Hey Liza
I'm gonna make up my own mind
I'm gonna make up my own mind
I see you looking at me
I know we're from different sides of town
You’ve never travelled
And I've been all around
Hey Liza
Let me take your hand
Hey hey yea yea
Yea yea yea
From where I stand
You're in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
- Albums: What's Inside
Baby's gone
Baby's gone and left me
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry for the thing
I wouldn't blame you
If you never come back
Darling what you had to go through
I could never live like that
I was stupid stupid stupid
I'm ashamed
I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad
Darling I've changed
You have my word on that
I was a fool to myself
And a devil to you
How I hurt you really hurt me
Ashamed
I miss the fun we had
I miss the games we played
I knew the score
Still I cheated
Now I'm history
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad I was mad
I was mad
I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Couldn't ask for more
Threw it all away
It's so sad I was bad I was mad
I lost a precious thing
Respect from you
I blew it all
Now I want it back
It's good news day
When you call me up
Please won't you call me
I'll be good
- Albums: Joan Armatrading Steppin' Out (live) Track Record Love & Affection Master Series
I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh
Thank you...
You took me dancing
Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move
Now I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love
I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love
Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick
To those that I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure
Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love
- Albums: Lovers Speak
It may rain tomorrow
But tonight is all that's on my mind
My baby's here
In my arms
You know we've got it bad
Cos tonight we've got the love virus
We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs
Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug
Let me splain the symptoms
First of all there's hardly any pain
With the love bug
You kind of lose you memory
You see
Hear
Think
Talk
Dream
Care
Just for one person
Only
Don't come down with the love bug
Cos it drives the sense
Right out of your head
This thing strikes in a curious way
It only hits when you're not looking
Don't stand close to anybody
Who'll contaminate you
If you come down with the virus
Well you'll never be alone again
We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs
Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug
I said love bug
Talking bout love bug
Yeh love bug
You know I mean love bug
Yeh love bug
Talking bout love bug
Yeh love bug
- Albums: Secret Secret
Anybody looking on
They can see
I'm not so good
People in the know
They can see that I miss you
In the night
With no one to hear me
I'm afraid and I cry
Seasons change
But there's nothing changes my mind
I've been loving you too long
And I can't seem to stop
You are my life line
You make me happy
I said that
I had to say it baby
Who on earth ever held me like you
I'd like to see someone try
Love by you
And no other loving will do
In your time
Baby come back to me
Don't leave this girl
Lost in space
You're the one who could
Guide me out of this maze
- Albums: This Charming Life
When they whisper in the corner
When they're running in the rain
When they're holding hands and laughing
Tell me what they're really saying
Lovers speak is so much different
Only they can understand
Let's all share this coded secret
Let us in let's all join hands
Lovers walk a different tight rope
Lovers always speak in tongues
I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt
When they're reckless with abandon
Nothing can get in their way
There's no natural disaster
Could dull their senses
Stop their play
Lover's world is so much different
Make me a native of that land
Let's all share this special feeling
That lifts you up beyond the heavens
Lovers walk a looser tight rope
With feathers thrown upon the ground
I wanna count all those blessings I'll get
When I gaze on that face
Who'll glamorize all my fantasies more
I tell you now I can't wait
I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt
Lovers speaking
Lovers speaking
Everyone will listen
Everyone will listen
Everyone wants to learn
They wanna learn the language of love
They wanna learn how to flirt
They wanna hear someone call out their name
And wipe away all the hurt
I wanna learn lovers speak
I wanna learn lovers speak
I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt
I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt
- Albums: Lover's Speak
I never thought love knew distance
I heard once smitten
It was wave goodbye
To the clubs and the dance on the tables shaking
Bad boy turned to a life of good
Passing round your number to a bunch of strangers
Girls in heels and their lips so red
They're not looking for love love love
They're looking for sweets
They're looking for a daddy
They're looking for sugar
Hey
Hey
Hey
Everybody told me it would never work out yeh
Living so far apart
And like a fool I though the oceans
Divided the continents
But not a faithful heart
Everybody told me that the sunshine that
I saw in your eyes was fake
That the blue was a too
I heard every single word they said
But it sounded like French
And Je ne parle pas francais
Cos I was looking for
Love love love
Ok I decided in my fairy tale world
We were hands stretched across the sea
And every time somebody told tell me
You were playing around I said
Oh no
He wouldn't hurt me
But more and more I find there's no answer to all my mail
And I can't reach you on your phone
Last thing we planned so meticulously
You missed the plane
And I spent the night alone
I gotta tell you now
Always thought of you as stronger baby
You were bigger than the sky
Don't want revenge she ain't a lady baby
And you know that is what I am
Aah aah aah
All I get from you is an abridged illusive story
Try to put a spin on cheating babe now you bore me
Once I was naive and I listened to the lies
And what you told me I would just believe
But while your other female friends are looking for a paycheck
It doesn't take money to please me
Do you read me
When you need me
I'm telling you babe
It cuts both ways
Believe me
Everybody told me it would never work out yeh
Living so far apart
Like a fool I though the oceans
Divided the continent
But not a faithful heart
Cos I was so in love
Yeh I was so in love
Yeh I was so in love
Yeh I was so in love
I was so in love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
