And I want you every single day
And I want you in the worst way
Let our bodies touch and intertwine
Let's dance
Let's groove
Let's jive
By night and day we'll fly
 
25 kisses all in a row
You put the moon in my favourite cup
It's dangerous baby
You've got control
You've got my heart in
Submission hold
 
And I want you every single day
And I want you in the worst way
Let our bodies touch and intertwine
Let's dance
Let's groove
Let's jive
By night and day we'll fly
 
Want you baby
I'm looking for love
Want you baby
Looking for love
Want you baby
I'm looking for love
Want you baby
I'm looking for love
And I want you every single day
And I want you in the worst way
Let our bodies touch and intertwine
Let's dance
Let's groove
Let's jive
By night and day we'll fly
 
Come on baby let's drive downtown
Let's drive to lover's lane
Where the nightingales sing their songs
Let the rumours circulate
We'll kiss more times than not
All day all night
All day all night
 
And I want you every single day
And I want you in the worst way
Let our bodies touch and intertwine
Let's dance
Let's groove
Let's jive
By night and day we'll fly
 
25 kisses all in a row
You put the moon in my favourite cup
It's dangerous baby
You've got control
You've got my heart in
Submission hold
 
And I want you every single day
And I want you in the worst way
Let our bodies touch and intertwine
Let's dance
Let's groove
Let's jive
By night and day we'll fly
 
25 kisses all in a row
You put the moon in my favourite cup
It's dangerous baby
You've got control
You've got my heart in
Submission hold

 Think about me

Think about me
Think about me
Think about me


Got no room to pay my bills
Got no room to plan my meals
I think about you like the latest craze
I’d walk a million miles to hear you say
You think about me
You think about me
You think about me
You think about me


Ever wanted something so bad
Taste sweet upon your tongue
Every waking hour I spend my time
Engineering coincidences
So you can
You think about me


And the love
We would share together
You and me against the world
Oh let's stay together
Let this love be unbroken
Everlasting


Every chamber in my brain is working on you
My head is so full it's running into my heart
And my heart is full of love for you
The way you move
The way you smile
The way you stand out in a great big crowd
Got to document every single thing
Got to document every single thing


I want you in the worst way
But do you think about me
I want you in the worst way
Think about me


I think about you like the latest craze
I’d walk a million miles to hear you say
You think about me
You think about me
You think about me
You think about me


Think about me
And the love
We would share together
You and me against the world
Oh let's stay together
Let this love be unbroken
Everlasting


You think about me
You think about me
You think about me
You think about me







• Albums: Consequences

Don’t wanna go home alone in the dark

Don't wanna run from the foot fall
I want the comfort of your arms
As we walk this earth
All I want is to be loved

To be loved
To be loved
To be loved
To be loved

Every day feels like a weekend
With you around
Each day’s a holiday
When you hold me tight
And you call out my name
I know what it's like
To be loved

To be loved
To be loved
To be loved
To be loved

I'll do my best
I’ll do my best to be the best for you
There's not a thing
There's not a thing I wouldn't do for you
Cos you make me happy

You melt my heart
Like ice cream in the sun
You make the best great times
I wonder how I every found you
Against all odds

To be loved
To be loved
To be loved
To be loved



• Albums: Consequences

To anyone who will listen

Please hear what I say
Turn off your judgement
Try and understand
How this lonely heart breaks
How the tears start to fall
I need your help to heal
My troubled mind


To anyone who will listen
To all the possibilities
Just give me the chance
To breathe
To catch my breath
Cos I’m trying my very best


I’m seeking your comfort
The pressure's released
Just by being here with you
The days are not long
The chance to tell my story
Heals this blue heart
Like medicine you cure
My sleepless nights


To anyone who will listen
To all the possibilities
Just give me the chance
To breathe
To catch my breath
Cos I’m trying my very best


Be a friend to me
In my despair
Be the friend who never asks why
Even when our conversation is strained
You won't walk out on me
Don’t won't walk out on me


To anyone who will listen
To all the possibilities
Just give me the chance
To breathe
To catch my breath
Cos I’m trying my very best

To anyone who will listen
Just give me the chance
To breathe
To catch my breath
Cos I’m trying my very best

• Albums: Not Too Far Away

Well this is not that
I’m happy
And I’m jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons
And having big fun fun
Do you want some

Tired from trying to be strong
Emotionally drained and looking for a friend
In need of 29 things to make life easy
To make life easy

Well this is not that
I’m happy
And I’m jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons
And having big fun fun
Do you want some

The problem with problems
Is that they take up too much time
And too many issues of the heart leave me crying
I’m naked on a mountain but I still don’t feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be

Well this is not that
I’m happy
And I’m jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons
And having big fun fun
Do you want some
Do you want some fun

I like beautiful thing
You don’t buy me diamonds You don’t bring me flowers
I don’t wanna feel how much I need you more than you need me
More than you need me

My head in my hands no sign post at the crossroad
No real solution have we come to a dead end
I’m naked on a mountain but I still don’t feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be
I’m naked on a mountain but I still don’t feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be

Well this is not that
I’m happy
And I’m jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons
And having big fun fun
Do you want some
Do you want some fun

• Albums: Starlight

Call me any time
That you wanna call
Tell me anything
Make it big or small
I can take it or leave it
If you wanna stay in
I can take it or leave it
If you wanna go out
I know all of your secrets
And you're the same with me
I know where all the bodies are
Your secret is safe with me
Tell me anything
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

Let our friendship survive
Bear the brunt of a storm
All I want you to do is call

Not in front or behind
But right there by my side
When you need me just call

You rely on me
I depend on you
I can dare you on
You double dare me to
We can dare to be different
But at the same time
We must be different together
And when we were younger we would always compete
And the winner would taunt
Na na na na na na
Tell me anything
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

While we're searching for love
Of the intimate kind
Our friendship will always be

Look to the north star
See how constant it shines
Like the bond that ties us together

Love is the answer
Love is what heals
Let's stay together
Friends
Love is the answer
Love is what heals
Let's stay forever
Friends

Friends forever

Let our friendship survive
Bear the brunt of a storm
All I want you to do is call
Call me anytime
That you wanna call
Call me day or night
I don’t care at all

I can take it or leave it
If you wanna stay in
I can take it or leave it
If you wanna go out
I know all of your secrets
And you're the same with me
I know where the bodies are
Your secret is safe with me
Tell me anything
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

Let our friendship survive
Bear the brunt of a storm
All I want you to do is call

Let our friendship survive
Bear the brunt of a storm
All I want you to do is call

• Albums: Secret Secrets Love & Affection

There's a very old experssion
Called
Talking to the wall
And it means
You get no answers
Just stone silence

But walls have ears
And you can hear me
When I call

I can feel it
Feel it
In my bones
You really mean it
It is not a hoax

Sham bam
Thank you ma'am
Not for you
You're bona fide......ah

You don't come on
In a Trojan horse
No hidden wires
To make me fall

What I see
Is what I get
Straight and true
My solid wall

You keep my chin up
Stabilize my highs and lows
You're extra special
Nothing superficial

You see right through me
Rust
Cracks
Warts and all
Nothing changes
I'm the last word
In what you want

You're as solid
As a wall
And I can
Lean against you

I can tell you
All my troubles
And I know
You'll hear me

Walls have ears
You can hear me
When I call
Talking to the wall

• Albums: Joan Armatrading Steppin' Out (live) Love & Affection

Say what you will
You can't take the stars at night
Take your love
But that doesn't stop my...
...life
You've been foolin' around
I looked to you for love
Thought you walked on holy ground
But oh...
You're mean

I thought that here
Was a guy
Brave
And strong
A brother to his brothers
Brave
And strong
Was preaching what to practice
But that don't mean a thing
You're mean...

Tall in the saddle
One of these days...
You're gonna have to dismount
You don't leave me downhearted
But I'm sorry that you have to go
Cos, we had
Fun, fun, fun fun fun
We had fun
While it lasted
We had fun
While it lasted

You were God's gift to girls
You persuaded
Then you
Beat up on their hearts
You made it, you made it
You made it, you made it
Oh you're mean

Tall in the saddle
One of these days...
You're gonna have to dismount
You'don't leave me downhearted
But I'm sorry that you have to go
Cos we had fun, fun, fun fun
Fun fun fun
We had fun
While it lasted

You were God's gift to girls
You persuaded
Then you
Beat up on their hearts
You made it, you made it
You made it, you made it Oh you're just mean

Tall in the saddle
One of these days
You're gonna have to dismount
You don't leave me downhearted
But I'm sorry that you have to go
Cos we had
Fun, fun, fun fun
Fun fun fun
We had fun
While it lasted

• Albums: To The Limit

I was walking down the street
Looking like a million dollars
With a pretty person my arm
When someone started shouting
They were hooting and a hollering
They were saying I should never
Have been born
I said baby you
Hear that
You're listening to the voices of fools
I said baby let me tell you
What they're trying to do
They're trying to make our love
A thing of the past
But I said aha

The very next day
It was early in the morning
The sun was shinging on my back
I was feeling pretty rested
The air smelt good
And I forgot about the thing
In the park
When they walked up
Then they passed me
You know I didn't want to turn
My head
But they started up again
And those silly voices rang
And the clanging was too much
For my brain
But I said aha
What we've got is the best

It was Friday I had money
I was feeling kind of special
I was taking my baby up town
The moon was high
The stars were bright
And there was lots of people in the street
I held your hand
You kissed me
And then all the people started to
Stare
We started a commotion
Someone making
Comments
Morals
The state of affairs
And I said
What we got is the best

• Albums: Lovers Speak

You come home after work
And the first thing that you do
Take me into your arms
And you find out how I've been
If the phone rings
Nobody answers
This is time is ours alone
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you
You've got to know
That you make me feel much stronger
Than anyone has the right to
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

When you walk through the door from a hard day's work
And someone's there to make you forget the nine to five
When they throw their arms around you make you feel you're alive
What other heaven is there when that sweet voice says
If the phone rings nobody answers
That's when you know working all the hours that God sends pays the rent
But it don't cover all your needs you need a whole lot of love
La la
And when that love is real and makes you feel complete
Whooo
The world is right
La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you
You've got to know
That you make me feel much stronger
Than anyone has the right to
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

Temptation drags you down
Takes you where
You wanna be
But deep inside you know
The reason
For the fear

The fear of letting go
The fear of being so
Possessed
All the time

Being hypnotised
By those
Evil evil eyes
Lead me not into

Temptation temptation temptation

Paralyse the thought
Beat them to the ground
Offer up a sacrifice
Don't feed the fear

The fear of letting go
The fear of being so
Possessed
All the time

Being hypnotised
By those
Evil evil eyes
Lead me not into

Temptation

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It offers everything
That you could possibly need

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It all looks so inviting
Til it drags you to your knees
Temptation

• Albums: The Key

And when I see you in the morning
Looking like
You never done
Anything wrong
In your life
But I saw you when
You saw me
Creeping round
Dead of night
Waiting for the light

I saw ya
Kissing all the boys
And I saw ya
Kissing all the girls
But you got obsessed
With the boys
You got obsessed
With the boys

So when you're telling
All your lies about me
Think awhile
Before your story ends
'Cos I've seen you in the parks
And alleys
Now I got things
That I can tell
Your friends

• Albums: Secret Secrets

In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
I'm gonna get someone
Who understands

I want a heart
Less demanding
Speak your mind
But standing
Cuddling close
Cuddling close

A thinking man's
What I want
In action
And in words
A thinking man's
What I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start

I've had enough indifference
I...I...I...
That's all I heard
That's all I heard

I want someone
Who listens
No fighting
For position
No other self
To have to satisfy

Oh I wanna be with you
I know that you want me too
Say it's not just for my body
Give me piece of mind
Give me piece of mind

In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
Cuddling close
Cuddling close

There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do

Yea you love your reflection
Looking back at you
With your long blond hair
And your leggie legs

Yea you like to go the shopping mall
They got mirrors wall to wall
You like to be on the centre stage
You can see adulation on a thousand faces

It gets your motor running wild
Any object that shines
It's a great opportunity
To look yourself in your big beautiful eyes

There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do

Wanna see the juices flow
Just stand you next to a mirror
Any polished metal
Can't pass up the chance
To see the image that you love the most

You like to go the shopping mall
They got mirrors wall to wall
You like to be on the centre stage
You can see adulation on a thousand faces

There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do
There ain't a girl alive who likes to look in the mirror like you do

• Albums: The Shouting Stage Love & Affection Master Series

I thought we had it sweet
But your mind's played
A trick on me
I thought that I'd be with you
All the time
And I'd be fine
Yeh, I'd be fine

I'll swear you have my feelings
Under thought control
I know you've taken
Such a hold on me
I'm thinking more and more
Of what we had before

Before we lost it at the shouting stage
Before the days we'd sit there
Side by side
Without a word
And how that hurt

How could eternal love
Made above
We were so in love
We were joined up at the sides
How could two people
Be as one
As one
Blind from the same light
Be out of love with love
In no time

I thought we had it made
But my minds played this trick on me
I thought that I would see you
All the time
And I'd be fine
Mmm I'd be fine

I swear you have no feelings
Or you'd call me home
I know there's no one else
There's no one else
Is there
I'm thinking more and more
Of what we had before
We lost it at the shouting stage
Before we lost it at the shouting stage

• Albums: This Charming Life

I wanna be with you all the time
Every day
Every night
You're my deja vu

It's sounds obsessive
But I think it's fine
When you're gone all I do is to think of you

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

You know you came into the room alone
But when you left
Then I found that you took my heart
It sounds so corny yes  I know it does
But truth is the shade that I choose to wear

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

Every government must pass down a law
That says the sun has to always shine
That everybody gets the chance to say

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

Every morning when I open my eyes
You're the first thing that I see
Lady luck she really took to me

Because
I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

• Albums: Back To The Night Master Series

Travel so far
I've got to get myself back
Move so far from you
And you so true
Well let me get myself back
Never going to wander again
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back

Was seeing the old moon
Walking past my door
He had freedom eyes
His home was the skies
And he beckoned me to his side
He said come let's go let's go
Freedom road
Just you and me
Bring the sun
If you feel you need some warm company

Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Move so close to you
And you're still true
It's good to have you smile back
Get back get back get back
I'll let you lead the way
Never going to wander again

Don't say
You've stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
Should be no one but me
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
I've travelled so far to be
Get back get back get back

Was feeling how your body moved
Watching the leaves blow in the trees
Then I thought of your touch
And that reminds me of your kiss
And I almost drove myself insane
Don't say you've stopped loving me
Thinking up as I go how you're gonna
Outshine sun and moon
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me.

• Albums: What's Inside

You've lived your life
And how you survived
I'll never know
People talk of hardships
What do they know
What do they know
Of the strength you had to show

To stop yourself from crying out
To keep you head above the sand
Those times when you were in dispair
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight don't call again

Now there were times
When it seemed I didn't care
Don't misjdge my silence
You had my sympathy
I had sympathy
And I admired how you

Stopped yourself from crying
Kept your head above the sand
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again

And now the future's looking bright
You fought alone and won the fight
Kept your faith
When times were hard you made it through
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high

You stopped yourself from crying out
You kept your head above the sand
Those times when you were in despair
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again

• Albums: Square The Circle Love & Affection

I've seen it in your eyes
And I've heard it in your voice
The way you speak my name
Tells me there's no doubt
That the dream that i held on for
Will be everlasting

You know poverty
Can be romantic
In black and white
It looks like art
Just as long as we're together
I couldn't care less

We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

we've laid the right foundations
And we've built our love on trust
No one can tear the walls down
That surrounds us
We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

Now I'm certain of the future
We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

You can't buy a faithful heart
Or true love

• Albums: Me Myself I Love & Affection

Up and down
And all around
I've been looking for
You
In and out
And all about
I've been reaching for
You
I've got to tell you baby
Now my
Mind is made up
Things have looked bad
But now
Some years later
We still
Turn out the light
I'm gonna
Hold you
So tight

And when you wake up
From some
Peaceful sleeping
Just look over here
And I'll get you dreaming
Turn out the light
I'm gonna
Love you tonight

Many lovers
Have come and gone
Some I miss
And some I don't
Some were handsome
But none were plain
My good fortune
I suppose

I wanna tell you baby
Since I
Took up with
You
I mostly think of love
And that means you
Let's turn out the light
I wanna hold you so
Tight

• Albums: This Charming Life

I cried two tears
And not for the first time
I cried these tears for you

I cried all night
And I promise myself
I won't ever cry this way again

Just like the sun
Follows every rain storm
And night gives way to dawn

You treat me bad
Try to drag me right down
But from here I can still see the stars

My luck just changed
Once I open that door
I am never gonna take you back

Hey it's a miracle
Time just stood still
So I can watch the frame
And what a shock
What a revelation
This is life changing

Blows raining down on me
And me I  crawl like a puppy dog
And I answer as soon as
I hear you call
Yeh

No more no more
No more crying eyes now
I've cried too much for you

I cry all night
And I promise myself
I won't ever cry this way again
I won't cry this way again
No
No

I cried two tears
And not for the first time
I cry these tears for you

I cried
Enough
No more
It's time
To say
Goodbye
Goodbye
Hey

I own myself
Yeh I gave you control
but I'm taking my possions back

You crowned you king
but your princess just work up
From a sleep yeh you're a hypnotist

Hey it's a miracle
Time just stood still
So I can watch the frame
And what a shock
What a revelation
This is life changing

Blows raining down on me
And me I  crawl like a puppy dog
And I answer as soon as
I hear you call
Yeh
Yeh

Hey it's a miracle
Time just stood still
So I can watch the frame
And what a shock
What a revelation
This is life changing

Blows raining down on me
And me I  crawl like a puppy dog
And I answer as soon as
I hear you call
