Take care of the way he's smiling
You can see so easily
The Devil's in him deep deep down
Oh that man's got the baddest blood you'll see
When he smiles you got to pray
He stays that way and don't mad
Cos there ain't no good inside him
He was born bad
Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
Oh yeah he was born bad
Don't you look for a little piece that's good
Thinking you can't save his soul
Don't you ever try to trust him
Or for sure he'll take control
And when he smiles you got to pray
He stays that way and don't mad
Cos there ain't no good inside him
He was born bad
Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
He was born bad
Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
He was born bad
Let's Start Again lyrics - Chris Rea
We've been together
For oh so long
Don't care whatever
Who's right or wrong

You ain't no fool

Let's think it over
Let's start again
Ain't nobody gonna to be as close as me and you
No-one remembers

So many tough times
They've been and gone
Who cares what they say

What I'm Looking For lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh, when I look out of my window
I see mama sitting by the door
Yeah, look out of my window
I see my mama sitting by the door
I said mama I can't come back
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for
Oh, mama tell me find some young girl
Like my daddy and brother before
Oh mama tell me to find some young girl
Like my daddy and brother before
I said mama you know i can't do that
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for
Now the wind is blowing
And my fingers freezing up
Oh I can't, like I can't take more now
But you know I ain't gonna stop now
Ain't never gonna give up
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh I can cry when I close my eyes
I see my mama sitting by the door
Yeah I could cry when I close my eyes
Oh I see my mama sitting by the door
There's something deep inside says no
'Til I find, 'til I find, Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh yeah, 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh yeah, 'til I find, 'til I find, Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for
I see mama sitting by the door
Yeah, look out of my window

Rules Of Love lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh the stain on your soul
Is the blood of your cheating ways
Those beat up emotions
They sure seen better days
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Oh think I'm right in guessing
You were messing
Messing, with the rules of love
I see the tears in your eyes
Now you know what you lost is gone
And all that remains is the pain
And the knowing what you done was wrong
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Such a fool, you broke the rules
You broke the rules of love
You broke the rules of love
You used to say there was
Never a need to be tied down
Now you're begging on your knees
Crying baby please
When it's the other way round
Oh you're crying on your knees
Now you know what you lost is gone
Oh and all that remains is the pain
And the knowing what you done was wrong
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Think I'm right in guessing
You been messing, messing
With the rules of love
You been messing with the rules of love, yes you did
Messing with the rules of love
You been messing, you been messing
Messing with the rules of love
Is the blood of your cheating ways
Those beat up emotions
They sure seen better days
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Oh think I'm right in guessing
You were messing
Messing, with the rules of love
I see the tears in your eyes
Now you know what you lost is gone
And all that remains is the pain
And the knowing what you done was wrong
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Such a fool, you broke the rules
You broke the rules of love
You broke the rules of love
You used to say there was
Never a need to be tied down
Now you're begging on your knees
Crying baby please
When it's the other way round
Oh you're crying on your knees
Now you know what you lost is gone
Oh and all that remains is the pain
And the knowing what you done was wrong
You got caught out
Something struck you down from above
Think I'm right in guessing
You been messing, messing
With the rules of love
You been messing with the rules of love, yes you did
Messing with the rules of love
You been messing, you been messing
Messing with the rules of love
What You Done to Me lyrics - Chris Rea
We've had trouble before
Though we never lost our way
Together for so long
We always knew there was going to be a price to pay
Was I so blind
That I just couldn't see
I gave you everything you wanted
I would have even let you go free
So how could you do
How could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
I got a heart broke in pieces
But that ain't what is hurting me so
Yeah I'm sure being mistreated
But darling why did you not let me know
And I see them laughing at me
When I go by
There was no need to do it this way
So tell me darling, please tell me why
How could you do, how could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
You could have spared my pride
You could have spared my shame
You could have in so many ways
You could have spared some of my pain
Oh how could you do
Oh baby tell me
How could you do
Darling, tell me how could you do
How could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
Though we never lost our way
Together for so long
We always knew there was going to be a price to pay
Was I so blind
That I just couldn't see
I gave you everything you wanted
I would have even let you go free
So how could you do
How could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
I got a heart broke in pieces
But that ain't what is hurting me so
Yeah I'm sure being mistreated
But darling why did you not let me know
And I see them laughing at me
When I go by
There was no need to do it this way
So tell me darling, please tell me why
How could you do, how could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
You could have spared my pride
You could have spared my shame
You could have in so many ways
You could have spared some of my pain
Oh how could you do
Oh baby tell me
How could you do
Darling, tell me how could you do
How could you do
What you done, what you done, to me
Hobo Love Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
I got a hobo love
Sure can't tie me down
Now I got a hobo love
Sure can't turn me down
My mama used to say
That boy sure can't stick around
I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
Yeah I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
When they see me pull it out
Oh, they always move away
I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
Yes, my mama she was right
I just can't settle down
I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Oh, I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Yeah, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Oh, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Can't quit it no more
I can't quit this hobo love
Sure can't tie me down
Now I got a hobo love
Sure can't turn me down
My mama used to say
That boy sure can't stick around
I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
Yeah I got a thin blade in my boot strap
And I use it every day
When they see me pull it out
Oh, they always move away
I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
I don't know why I keep moving
Yeah I go from town to town
Yes, my mama she was right
I just can't settle down
I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Oh, I can hear the devil laughing
At the Lord from way above
Yeah, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Oh, the Devil know he got me
Cos I can't quit this hobo love
Can't quit it no more
I can't quit this hobo love

The Soul Of My Father's Shadow lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh I moved to the sound
Of my father's shadow
Always pulling on these chains
Trying to break free
Over the wall
Into the darkest night
Not knowing
What was just ahead for me
He used to say
You got to know the way
You got to do some schooling every day
Son, I'm so scared, scared of what I see
Oh you got to cool down or you'll end up like me
Chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Oh I hear what they're saying
What they whisper I know
A chip off the block
With a raging fire down below
And no guessing, no guessing
It's so easy to see
Always punching at them walls
Always trying to break free
But I hear mama say
Only trouble goona come my way
Moving to the sound
Of my father's shadow
Mama say God help my child
Mama say I feel he's running wild
She say why why why
Oh cry cry cry
So well I know
So well I know
That raging fire below
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Oh of my father's shadow
Of my father's shadow
Always pulling on these chains
Trying to break free
Over the wall
Into the darkest night
Not knowing
What was just ahead for me
He used to say
You got to know the way
You got to do some schooling every day
Son, I'm so scared, scared of what I see
Oh you got to cool down or you'll end up like me
Chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Oh I hear what they're saying
What they whisper I know
A chip off the block
With a raging fire down below
And no guessing, no guessing
It's so easy to see
Always punching at them walls
Always trying to break free
But I hear mama say
Only trouble goona come my way
Moving to the sound
Of my father's shadow
Mama say God help my child
Mama say I feel he's running wild
She say why why why
Oh cry cry cry
So well I know
So well I know
That raging fire below
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
Of my father's shadow
Oh of my father's shadow
My Blue World Says Hello lyrics - Chris Rea
Everyone knows
My story of a heart broken clean in two
Everybody talking 'bout my never-to-be
No happy ending for me
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around, yeah
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
Wants to know
Each time before
Good love seemed to pass me on by
Some kind of bad luck
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around
Since you been around me
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
She wants to know
To take a chance with you
Is a dangerous way to go
But my blue world
My blue world says hello
Say a prayer and let it flow
Say a prayer for whenever it goes
Cos my blue world
Says hello
My story of a heart broken clean in two
Everybody talking 'bout my never-to-be
No happy ending for me
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around, yeah
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
Wants to know
Each time before
Good love seemed to pass me on by
Some kind of bad luck
Always seemed to get me down
A new kind of feeling
Baby since you been around
Since you been around me
My blue world
Says hello
My blue world
She wants to know
To take a chance with you
Is a dangerous way to go
But my blue world
My blue world says hello
Say a prayer and let it flow
Say a prayer for whenever it goes
Cos my blue world
Says hello
Lone Rider lyrics - Chris Rea
I'm the lone rider and I sure lost mt way
Yeah, I'm the lone rider and I sure lost my way
Gonna see me cry every time I see the break of day
I'll be on my lonesome way
Oh they call me the breaker
'cos I break everything i see
They call me the breaker
but that ain't how it should be
I tell you true, it's only what been done to me
Oh, lone rider, yeah, lone rider
I gotta be on my way
Every time I see the break of day
I got to be on my way ...
Lone rider ...
Yeah, I'm the lone rider and I sure lost my way
Gonna see me cry every time I see the break of day
I'll be on my lonesome way
Oh they call me the breaker
'cos I break everything i see
They call me the breaker
but that ain't how it should be
I tell you true, it's only what been done to me
Oh, lone rider, yeah, lone rider
I gotta be on my way
Every time I see the break of day
I got to be on my way ...
Lone rider ...
Texas Blue lyrics - Chris Rea
Snow chains busting up my fingers
Ice pick blisters across my hands
I close my eyes and dream of red rocks
All along the Rio grande
I was born into the north wind
Blades of ice and freezing rain
But I still dream cowboy blue skies,
how they help me ease the pain
'Til the day that sun comes shining,
'til the day that dreams come true
I'll be texas blue
Call me a fool if you really want to
tell me dreams can go so wrong
But these winter skies can't hurt me
while i sing this crazy song ...
'Til the day that sun comes shining
Leather boots and desert sky
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue
'Til the day that sun comes shining
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue
Ice pick blisters across my hands
I close my eyes and dream of red rocks
All along the Rio grande
I was born into the north wind
Blades of ice and freezing rain
But I still dream cowboy blue skies,
how they help me ease the pain
'Til the day that sun comes shining,
'til the day that dreams come true
I'll be texas blue
Call me a fool if you really want to
tell me dreams can go so wrong
But these winter skies can't hurt me
while i sing this crazy song ...
'Til the day that sun comes shining
Leather boots and desert sky
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue
'Til the day that sun comes shining
'Til the day that dream comes true ...
I'll be texas blue
No Wheels Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
I'm standing by a streetlight
I'm hitching for a ride
Got no car keys in my cold hands
With a burning fire inside
You ain't nothing without four wheels
There's no pride in walking home
Got to get some money somehow
Got no job, can't get no loan
Got no girl, I got no friends
Busted pride in busted shoes
I got the no wheels blues
See that T bird on the corner
Oh lord, don't she look so fine
I got to find some money somehow
I got to make that T bird mine
I'm an ace without a license
I'm a champ without a car
Only a GT badge can save me
And gasoline can heal my scars
Without those car keys
She'll never have me
I'm just some punk with worn out shoes
I got the no wheels blues
I'm hitching for a ride
Got no car keys in my cold hands
With a burning fire inside
You ain't nothing without four wheels
There's no pride in walking home
Got to get some money somehow
Got no job, can't get no loan
Got no girl, I got no friends
Busted pride in busted shoes
I got the no wheels blues
See that T bird on the corner
Oh lord, don't she look so fine
I got to find some money somehow
I got to make that T bird mine
I'm an ace without a license
I'm a champ without a car
Only a GT badge can save me
And gasoline can heal my scars
Without those car keys
She'll never have me
I'm just some punk with worn out shoes
I got the no wheels blues
Lone Star Boogie lyrics - Chris Rea
It was a freezing night, the wind began to howl
And a cold street wind came
Slashing through this northern town
They tried so hard to find somewhere to hide
To get some kind of shelter from their fear inside
He said, i know a place where we can go
She said, come on now tell me
Cos i need to know
Lone star boogie, boogie my blues away
I see a texas sky in electric blue
I see a big old raging truck come slammining through
He said, close your eyes
Feel the heat
I'll put some kind of Texas
Into your empty streets
It's a lone star boogie, boogie my blues away
I still remember the place we used to go
Dreaming dreams of Texas
As we pushed hard through the snow
You told the stories of the snow chain trucks that flew
we laughed cos I only saw them in a Texas
morning blue
It's a lone star boogie
And a cold street wind came
Slashing through this northern town
They tried so hard to find somewhere to hide
To get some kind of shelter from their fear inside
He said, i know a place where we can go
She said, come on now tell me
Cos i need to know
Lone star boogie, boogie my blues away
I see a texas sky in electric blue
I see a big old raging truck come slammining through
He said, close your eyes
Feel the heat
I'll put some kind of Texas
Into your empty streets
It's a lone star boogie, boogie my blues away
I still remember the place we used to go
Dreaming dreams of Texas
As we pushed hard through the snow
You told the stories of the snow chain trucks that flew
we laughed cos I only saw them in a Texas
morning blue
It's a lone star boogie
Blind Willie lyrics - Chris Rea
Blind Willie, that man could see
What we
Can only dream about
Blind Willie, my one and only peace
That I can't do without
Blind Willie
Now I can smell the burnt out hell you lived in
The damp newspaper making up your bed
The stinging eyes that died
When you were just a child
Oh I swear that I have cried
For you
Blind Willie
I pray each night
You sleep without a fever
I pray each night
You don't feel the winter cold
Willie B and Angelina are with you now
And peace like sunlight
Wraps around your soul
Oh Blind Willie
What we
Can only dream about
Blind Willie, my one and only peace
That I can't do without
Blind Willie
Now I can smell the burnt out hell you lived in
The damp newspaper making up your bed
The stinging eyes that died
When you were just a child
Oh I swear that I have cried
For you
Blind Willie
I pray each night
You sleep without a fever
I pray each night
You don't feel the winter cold
Willie B and Angelina are with you now
And peace like sunlight
Wraps around your soul
Oh Blind Willie
The American Way lyrics - Chris Rea
Everyone tells me, everyone say
Nobody loses
The American way
Doctors and teachers
So much they can do
Food on the table
And a future for you
Sweet little angel, sleeping so still
I got to run for the boarder now
You won't see me until
Your papa got a good job
Got some money in his hands
Tell your Mama what I'm saying
She will help you understand
So while I'm gone
Pray that it won't be long
We'll be together again
On a shiny new day
Living the dream
The American way
I met a guy on a corner
I gave him all that we could
He said get me a green card
Mama's scared
She thinkd he's no good
I said this time it will work out
Anyway it's all we can do
'Cos we live for your future
That's why I got to get through
So while I'm gone
Pray that it won't be long
We'll be together again
On a shiny new day
Living the dream
The American way
Nobody loses
The American way
Doctors and teachers
So much they can do
Food on the table
And a future for you
Sweet little angel, sleeping so still
I got to run for the boarder now
You won't see me until
Your papa got a good job
Got some money in his hands
Tell your Mama what I'm saying
She will help you understand
So while I'm gone
Pray that it won't be long
We'll be together again
On a shiny new day
Living the dream
The American way
I met a guy on a corner
I gave him all that we could
He said get me a green card
Mama's scared
She thinkd he's no good
I said this time it will work out
Anyway it's all we can do
'Cos we live for your future
That's why I got to get through
So while I'm gone
Pray that it won't be long
We'll be together again
On a shiny new day
Living the dream

Angellina lyrics - Chris Rea
Agellina takes each empty glass
And washes away every heartache
She calls out to the guys to drink up
What's left of their soul
Agellina each glass of hope that you fill
Is now empty and waiting
Waiting for some kind ogf love
Before their trail has gone cold
Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina
Agellina, was there someone you loved
Who left your heart broken?
Your pretty eyes
Give your deepest dark secrets away
Oh Agellina so many who'd die for their eyes
To be closed by
'Til morning
Your smile is their kiss
As they hang on to each word you say
Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina
And washes away every heartache
She calls out to the guys to drink up
What's left of their soul
Agellina each glass of hope that you fill
Is now empty and waiting
Waiting for some kind ogf love
Before their trail has gone cold
Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina
Agellina, was there someone you loved
Who left your heart broken?
Your pretty eyes
Give your deepest dark secrets away
Oh Agellina so many who'd die for their eyes
To be closed by
'Til morning
Your smile is their kiss
As they hang on to each word you say
Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina
Truck Stop lyrics - Chris Rea
I see everybody trying to break free
Boy, girl, man or woman it's all the same to me
I take the money, smile and say thank you
See their freedom fade away from the place they're
going to
All the single souls
A thousand stories to be told
They cut loose, out here, standing all alone
Something tells me they ain't rushing
Ain't rushing
To get home
Down at the truckstop
Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...
The only piece of life that you feel free
You can pretend you are
What you always wanted to be
Gas tank full and a dream still gets to you
Oh the great big you
That no one ever knew
Truck stop, you're not what you left behind
Truck stop, you're free from the ties that bind
Truck stop, one thousand stories to be told
Truck stop
Down at the truck stop
Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...
Boy, girl, man or woman it's all the same to me
I take the money, smile and say thank you
See their freedom fade away from the place they're
going to
All the single souls
A thousand stories to be told
They cut loose, out here, standing all alone
Something tells me they ain't rushing
Ain't rushing
To get home
Down at the truckstop
Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...
The only piece of life that you feel free
You can pretend you are
What you always wanted to be
Gas tank full and a dream still gets to you
Oh the great big you
That no one ever knew
Truck stop, you're not what you left behind
Truck stop, you're free from the ties that bind
Truck stop, one thousand stories to be told
Truck stop
Down at the truck stop
Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...
Weekend Down Mexico lyrics - Chris Rea
I remember the days gone by
I would wipe a tear from your pretty little eyes
And say darling don't you cry
We'll find a way
We'll get by
You looked at me with a wonderful smile
We held each other close for a while
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong
And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico
And sometimes I still feel it inside
And taste one of those tears that we cried
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong
And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico
I would wipe a tear from your pretty little eyes
And say darling don't you cry
We'll find a way
We'll get by
You looked at me with a wonderful smile
We held each other close for a while
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong
And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico
And sometimes I still feel it inside
And taste one of those tears that we cried
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong
And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico
Texas Line Boogie lyrics - Chris Rea
I've got my cards on the table
Got my life laying on the floor
I've been broke, I've been twisted
But tonight I don't care anymore
I'm gonna hang up my blues
And let them stay there for a while
I'm gonna dance in that line
I'm gonna lose them in somebody's smile
Texas line boogie
Let your troubles go by
Texas line boogie
Why don't you give it a try
Well you're feeling so down
You ain't got nothing to lose
Feel your feet and your soul
Rising up from your dancing shoes
Don't say it's not me, don't tell me that this ain't so cool
If you don't want some fun
Then God saya you ain't nothing but a fool
Texas line boogie, let your troubles go by
Texas line boogie, why don't you give it a try
Texas line boogie
Got my life laying on the floor
I've been broke, I've been twisted
But tonight I don't care anymore
I'm gonna hang up my blues
And let them stay there for a while
I'm gonna dance in that line
I'm gonna lose them in somebody's smile
Texas line boogie
Let your troubles go by
Texas line boogie
Why don't you give it a try
Well you're feeling so down
You ain't got nothing to lose
Feel your feet and your soul
Rising up from your dancing shoes
Don't say it's not me, don't tell me that this ain't so cool
If you don't want some fun
Then God saya you ain't nothing but a fool
Texas line boogie, let your troubles go by
Texas line boogie, why don't you give it a try
Texas line boogie
Too Big City lyrics - Chris Rea
Well there's a big blue sky
The good Lord painted for me
From the east of Arizona
Down to the mexican sea
Oh this too big city,
It don't let me feel free
I'm going to pack up soon
Take off on my own
They call it the mother road
She gonna take me back home
Because this too big city
Got nothing but a heart of stone
Now there's a sense of freedom
Out along these country lines
I don't need no pressure
Trying to make your oxygen mine
Oh this too big city is gonna kill itself
For a nickel and dime
Goodbye, all my troubles will be gone
Well I'm going back home, back to where I belong
Goodbye
The good Lord painted for me
From the east of Arizona
Down to the mexican sea
Oh this too big city,
It don't let me feel free
I'm going to pack up soon
Take off on my own
They call it the mother road
She gonna take me back home
Because this too big city
Got nothing but a heart of stone
Now there's a sense of freedom
Out along these country lines
I don't need no pressure
Trying to make your oxygen mine
Oh this too big city is gonna kill itself
For a nickel and dime
Goodbye, all my troubles will be gone
Well I'm going back home, back to where I belong
Goodbye
Houston Angel lyrics - Chris Rea
Neon lights shining in the deepest blue
You pull in by the motel
You know what you're going to do
See you face come shining
See a smile come crashing through
Houston Angel
She's still the one that gets to you
Well I know what you're thinking
I can see your smiling face
You've been all around I know
But you can't find another to take her place
Ever since you were a small child
You know it moved you deep inside
A certain kind of magic
You always found so hard to hide
See you face come shining
See a smile come crashing through
Houston Angel
She's still the one that gets to you
Houston Angel
She was always the one that burned you like a fire
And you never quite shook
off this strange intense desire
See her face come shining
See her smile come crashing through
Houston Angel, she's the one that
Still gets through to you
Houston Angel
You pull in by the motel
You know what you're going to do
See you face come shining
See a smile come crashing through
Houston Angel
She's still the one that gets to you
Well I know what you're thinking
I can see your smiling face
You've been all around I know
But you can't find another to take her place
Ever since you were a small child
You know it moved you deep inside
A certain kind of magic
You always found so hard to hide
See you face come shining
See a smile come crashing through
Houston Angel
She's still the one that gets to you
Houston Angel
She was always the one that burned you like a fire
And you never quite shook
off this strange intense desire
See her face come shining
See her smile come crashing through
Houston Angel, she's the one that
Still gets through to you
Houston Angel
I'm Moving Up lyrics - Chris Rea
Well it may not look like much
But it's all I got
It may be nothing to you
But I'm coming through
Oh, yeah, I'm coming
Yeah I'm coming
I'm moving up
I'm moving up
To Chicago
Yeah, I heard all the stories
Of those big wide streets
They say it's real good money
Oh it's easy meat
I've had enough down here
Well, see I got to go
I'm moving
Yeah I'm moving up
Ready or not
To Chicago
You'll see me walking tall
See my shiny shoes
I'm going to take it all up
Kick away those country blues
Well, I'll play anything
I'll play bazooka-zoo
I'll play electric guitar
I'll do anything you want me to
Yeah, I'm moving up
Well, I'm moving up
To Chicago
Oh yeah, I'm moving up

Maxwell Street lyrics - Chris Rea
Will you tell me mister
How did I end up here?
Oh, won't you tell me mister
How did I end up here?
I got a dollar for my trouble
And nothing for may fear
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
So cold and hungry down on Maxwell
And the blues tear came to stay
Well they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Oh, they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Now I'm standing here on Maxwell
Feeling like the biggest fool
Oh, my cousin caught the Greyhound
And my best friend jumped a train
Yeah, my cousin caught the Greyhound
Yeah, my best friend jumped a train
Now if I ever pull a big one
Maxwell won't see my face again
Oh maxwell
If I ever pull a big one
No you won't see my face again
How did I end up here?
Oh, won't you tell me mister
How did I end up here?
I got a dollar for my trouble
And nothing for may fear
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
Oh, won't you tell me mister preacher
How did I end up this way?
So cold and hungry down on Maxwell
And the blues tear came to stay
Well they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Oh, they told me I remember
This new life would be so cool
Now I'm standing here on Maxwell
Feeling like the biggest fool
Oh, my cousin caught the Greyhound
And my best friend jumped a train
Yeah, my cousin caught the Greyhound
Yeah, my best friend jumped a train
Now if I ever pull a big one
Maxwell won't see my face again
Oh maxwell
If I ever pull a big one
No you won't see my face again
Bob Taylor lyrics - Chris Rea
I pray,
Oh, I pray
I'm praying
Yes I am
Every single day
I pray
Some sweet morning
I'll get to move away
I fear who's in my doorway
Too scared to go outside
There's a gunshot every day now
One for every tear i cry
Sometimes I go to sleep
Hoping I will never wake
There's fear for my poor children
Oh I dream that one fine day
One sweet morning
We'll get to move away
Sometimes I see the Devil
Sometimes I see his face
I swear he built these towers of hell
Oh' I swear he made this place
Whatever made us come here
Whatever made us stay
This endless cold grey winter
Oh I pray that one fine day
One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away
One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away
Bob Taylor
Let the Devil take him
Bob Taylor
Let the Devil shake him
Bob Taylor
Let the Devil break him
Oh, I pray
I'm praying
Yes I am
Every single day
I pray
Some sweet morning
I'll get to move away
I fear who's in my doorway
Too scared to go outside
There's a gunshot every day now
One for every tear i cry
Sometimes I go to sleep
Hoping I will never wake
There's fear for my poor children
Oh I dream that one fine day
One sweet morning
We'll get to move away
Sometimes I see the Devil
Sometimes I see his face
I swear he built these towers of hell
Oh' I swear he made this place
Whatever made us come here
Whatever made us stay
This endless cold grey winter
Oh I pray that one fine day
One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away
One sweet morning
Oh, we get to move away

That's The Way It Goes lyrics - Chris Rea
She was a good time girl
Everybody know her name
Oh she was a good time girl
Everybody knew her name
She took off with a hustler
Never been seen again
He was a pool room genius
Broken heart and a broken nose
Yeah he was a pool room genius
Broken heart and a broken nose
Well, how he ended up in the chiller
nobody knows
That's just the way it goes
So many saw it coming
That dangerous path they chose
Oh so many saw it coming
That dangerous path they chose
But ask anybody down on Maxwell
They say that's just the way it goes
Oh, that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes 'round here, yeah
Ask anybody down on Maxwell

Everybody know her name

Broken heart and a broken nose
Well, how he ended up in the chiller

To Get Your Love lyrics - Chris Rea
I like the way you look
Play the game so well

Oh baby you move so well
I like the way you shake shake shake
Shake a tail feather baby
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do

Last Call lyrics - Chris Rea
Last place on my list tonight
Last drink gonna be alright
Seems like I'm headed
For some big fall
This is my last call
Last call for drink
Last call for a cigarette
Not least of all
Your face I can't forget
I lost
You won
And you took it all
So this is my last call
I can't remember how this night began
Boy we really hit the town
I think the plan was to forget about you
But before i put you down
One more drink
'Til you
I cant recall
This is my last call
One more drink
'Til you I can't recall
How I'd love to think
I could forget it all
Mr bartender please hear me out
Cos this is my last call
This is my last call
Last drink gonna be alright
Seems like I'm headed
For some big fall
This is my last call
Last call for drink
Last call for a cigarette
Not least of all
Your face I can't forget
I lost
You won
And you took it all
So this is my last call
I can't remember how this night began
Boy we really hit the town
I think the plan was to forget about you
But before i put you down
One more drink
'Til you
I cant recall
This is my last call
One more drink
'Til you I can't recall
How I'd love to think
I could forget it all
Mr bartender please hear me out
Cos this is my last call
This is my last call
Maybe That's All I Need To Know lyrics - Chris Rea
It must have been
The shortest time
I thought we had it
Everything was fine
They must have timed it
Like a sly old cat
When I was sleeping
I did not hear the rat
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all I need to know
I see their shadow
When I close my eyes
There is no way back now
It cut too deep inside
Dirty tricks I thought
I knew 'em all
There was no writing
on the wall
Who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Somebody ...
Maybe it's better
Maybe it's better
I don't know
The one they stole
Is now history
But that don't take away
The hurt inside of me
The painful razor
Of the Devil's kiss
Your closest friend
Could never do this
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt meso?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all
I need to know
The shortest time
I thought we had it
Everything was fine
They must have timed it
Like a sly old cat
When I was sleeping
I did not hear the rat
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all I need to know
I see their shadow
When I close my eyes
There is no way back now
It cut too deep inside
Dirty tricks I thought
I knew 'em all
There was no writing
on the wall
Who was this creep you ask
Who hurt you so?
Somebody ...
Maybe it's better
Maybe it's better
I don't know
The one they stole
Is now history
But that don't take away
The hurt inside of me
The painful razor
Of the Devil's kiss
Your closest friend
Could never do this
And who was this creep you ask
Who hurt meso?
Oh somebody ...
Maybe that's all
Maybe that's all
I need to know
Deep Winter Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
Freezin' rain
That blows straight through
Your busted soul
Fast food stinks
And hangs in your coat
As you try to take refuge
From the brutal cold
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Steam on the main street
Snow on the side street
Ice on the metal stairs
Don't wanna take a shower
Too cold for a bath
Sometimes you'll find you don't even care
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
This cold is killing everyone
There's a smile in your memory
That whispers like a hurricane
Is your life becoming
Just a fight to get out of the freezing snow and rain?
Oh there's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
That blows straight through
Your busted soul
Fast food stinks
And hangs in your coat
As you try to take refuge
From the brutal cold
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Steam on the main street
Snow on the side street
Ice on the metal stairs
Don't wanna take a shower
Too cold for a bath
Sometimes you'll find you don't even care
There's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
This cold is killing everyone
There's a smile in your memory
That whispers like a hurricane
Is your life becoming
Just a fight to get out of the freezing snow and rain?
Oh there's a place down south
Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face
Standing in freezing shoes
Me and you
With the deep winter blues
Deep winter blues
If I Ever Get Over You lyrics - Chris Rea
When tomorrow comes
The first day for me
that I will rise
Not so young
But free
Gonna paint the town
The brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one
Always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
I'm gonna laugh
No more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'til midnight, been and gone
I'm gonna throw away
All my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
Then I will rise not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through ...
If I ever
If I ever get over you
Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever, If I ever
Get over you
The first day for me
that I will rise
Not so young
But free
Gonna paint the town
The brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one
Always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you
I'm gonna laugh
No more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'til midnight, been and gone
I'm gonna throw away
All my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
Then I will rise not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through ...
If I ever
If I ever get over you
Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever, If I ever
Get over you
I Love The Rain lyrics - Chris Rea
I love the rain
It clears the street
It cool off the pressure
It kill the heat
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
It's a sound so sweet
It's got it's own pretty music
See it dance around my feet
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
All the people move away
I love how things slow down
On a rainy rainy day
Gently it's falling
Wash the bad stuff away
I love the rain
It kisses the buildings
It kisses the trees
Drip drip drip drip drip
It slides of the leaves
And rolls off your shoulders
And gently rolls off your face
I love the rain
It clears the street
It cool off the pressure
It kill the heat
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
It's a sound so sweet
It's got it's own pretty music
See it dance around my feet
Gently it's falling
Turn down the heat
I love the rain
I love the rain
All the people move away
I love how things slow down
On a rainy rainy day
Gently it's falling
Wash the bad stuff away
I love the rain
It kisses the buildings
It kisses the trees
Drip drip drip drip drip
It slides of the leaves
And rolls off your shoulders
And gently rolls off your face
I love the rain
My Soul Crying Out For You lyrics - Chris Rea
Can you hear it?
Singing so low
Every time you tell me
You have got to go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
What wakes you up
In the dead of night
And still you hear it
in the morning light
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul crying out for you
money don't buy no pill
to take away this pain that haunts you still
The sound that you have come to know
And I will not let you go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
Don't worry
It's just my soul crying out for you
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
Singing so low
Every time you tell me
You have got to go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
What wakes you up
In the dead of night
And still you hear it
in the morning light
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul crying out for you
money don't buy no pill
to take away this pain that haunts you still
The sound that you have come to know
And I will not let you go
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
Don't worry
It's just my soul crying out for you
That sad refrain
Those notes so blue
It's my soul
Crying out for you
If That's What You Want lyrics - Chris Rea
You say you need some space
Don't want to be tied to nobody that way
I'm hanging on with hands that bleed
Trying to make sense of what you say
And every time I try to make a deal
When morning comes
You forget it
So here's a whole heap of space
Cos if that's what you want
You got it
I been dragging round
Bailing you out
Every time you click your finger
So many things you say you can't do without
You need a slave
And babe that slave ain't me
And I am afraid that's how you'll always be
So if that's what you want
If that's what you want
You got it
Give and take
You'll never understand
It's all take take take
take as much as you can
So a life without responsibility
I'll gladly give you that
Here, take it from me
Fly away
And you'll find out
What life without me
Is all about
Cos if that's what you want
If that's really what you want
You got it
Don't want to be tied to nobody that way
I'm hanging on with hands that bleed
Trying to make sense of what you say
And every time I try to make a deal
When morning comes
You forget it
So here's a whole heap of space
Cos if that's what you want
You got it
I been dragging round
Bailing you out
Every time you click your finger
So many things you say you can't do without
You need a slave
And babe that slave ain't me
And I am afraid that's how you'll always be
So if that's what you want
If that's what you want
You got it
Give and take
You'll never understand
It's all take take take
take as much as you can
So a life without responsibility
I'll gladly give you that
Here, take it from me
Fly away
And you'll find out
What life without me
Is all about
Cos if that's what you want
If that's really what you want
You got it
There's No One Looking lyrics - Chris Rea
There's no one looking
Let's steal away
This ain't the kind of thing
We do anyway
I'll make some excuses
You powder your nose
There's no one looking
Let's go
There's no one looking
It's just you and me
I'll steal a kiss
Nobody will ever see
Let's find an empty street
With a late lonely bar
There's no one looking
At how lovely you are
There's no one looking
So it's OK to smile
There's no one looking
Let's sit here for a while
Laughing's allowed here
Cos nobody can see
There's nobody looking
So for now we can be
There's no one looking
There was nobody looking
When we decided to go
So where are we now
Nobody knows
We get on so easy
Like each other so well
There's nobody looking
Is it OK to touch
There's nobody looking
Let's steal away
This ain't the kind of thing
We do anyway
I'll make some excuses
You powder your nose
There's no one looking
Let's go
There's no one looking
It's just you and me
I'll steal a kiss
Nobody will ever see
Let's find an empty street
With a late lonely bar
There's no one looking
At how lovely you are
There's no one looking
So it's OK to smile
There's no one looking
Let's sit here for a while
Laughing's allowed here
Cos nobody can see
There's nobody looking
So for now we can be
There's no one looking
There was nobody looking
When we decided to go
So where are we now
Nobody knows
We get on so easy
Like each other so well
There's nobody looking
Is it OK to touch
There's nobody looking
What Became Of You lyrics - Chris Rea
What became of you?
And all you reasons why
This special love we knew
Would always end up in the pile
It took an age it seems
To let the tears run dry
Yeah I'll survive
I guess so much is true
That every time
That morning sun breaks through
I wonder what became of you
What became of you?
And all the promises you made
If what you said is rue
The debt of truth you left unpaid
the pain will always need to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you
The wound had healed
But there's an aching scar
So deep and blue
The pain will always be to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you?
And all you reasons why
This special love we knew
Would always end up in the pile
It took an age it seems
To let the tears run dry
Yeah I'll survive
I guess so much is true
That every time
That morning sun breaks through
I wonder what became of you
What became of you?
And all the promises you made
If what you said is rue
The debt of truth you left unpaid
the pain will always need to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you
The wound had healed
But there's an aching scar
So deep and blue
The pain will always be to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you?
My Deep Blue Ways lyrics - Chris Rea
There's a moment
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah
It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways
In almost every day
I catch a little piece of blue
I stop for a while
Relax 'till a smile
Feels the sun
Come shining through
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
They say I'm strong
Yeah I know
That's my history
It's a story that's good to read
But there's a piece of my soul
I could never control
It's never set me free
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me
And my deep blue ways
Just me and my deep blue ways, yeah
It's such a long time ago
And it seems now so far away
Deep blue was the sky
Deep gold was the sand
And the music of forever
Gently played, yeah
On a day like today
Don't you worry it's OK
It's just me and my deep blue ways
It's just me and my deep blue ways
Sweet Love lyrics - Chris Rea
Sometimes I realise
There's no asking why
It's just sweet love
Sometimes we think too much
All we need is that tender touch
Some sweet love

Break Another Piece Of My Heart lyrics - Chris Rea
Girl you're driving me crazy
Girl you're making me blue
Why do you give me such a run-around
Oh babe what am I gonna do
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
All our friends want to know
They all want to know the reason why
You say we're made for each other
That there'll never be another
Then you make me cry
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Oh there you go
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
And my love is so straight and true
But every promise that you make
Is a promise that you break
I don't know what I'm gonna do
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
But when I think we got a brand new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Girl you're making me blue
Why do you give me such a run-around
Oh babe what am I gonna do

There you go
Break another piece of my heart
All our friends want to know
They all want to know the reason why
You say we're made for each other
That there'll never be another
Then you make me cry
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Oh there you go
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
And my love is so straight and true
But every promise that you make

Break another piece of my heart
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
But when I think we got a brand new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Ball & Chain lyrics - Chris Rea
Sometimes I feel the shadows
What we used to have
Sometimes I get the feeling
Oh how it used to be
I cut my finger
Well, you kissed my blood
You were the shango axe
And I was your wood
Well it's been so long over
There's so little that remains
I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
I was never your ball and chain
I was your lover
yeah, never your ball and chain
Please one more time
Before I go
There's one small thing
I need to know
It's been so long over
There's so little left remains
that I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Oh I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
Oh I was never your ball and chain
yeah, never your ball and chain
What we used to have
Sometimes I get the feeling
Oh how it used to be
I cut my finger
Well, you kissed my blood
You were the shango axe
And I was your wood
Well it's been so long over
There's so little that remains
I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
I was never your ball and chain
I was your lover
yeah, never your ball and chain
Please one more time
Before I go
There's one small thing
I need to know
It's been so long over
There's so little left remains
that I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Oh I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
Oh I was never your ball and chain
yeah, never your ball and chain
Gospel Trail lyrics - Chris Rea
You got lovers
Hiding at night
There's a certain kind of fear in her eyes
Cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right
He see his bread of life
Quickly turning stale
All along
This gospel trail
I got my brother and my best friend
Choking on your book of lies
I saw you kill the truth with your eyes
Made everybody look like a fool
I saw the good Lord's words
Written on a bomb of nails
All along, all along
This gospel trail
I see blood run like a river
Cos of all your mistakes
Your song of compassion
Turned out to be just a fake
So now the innocent on both sides
They're gonna scream and wail
All along, oh all along, along
This gospel trail
Hiding at night
There's a certain kind of fear in her eyes
Cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right
He see his bread of life
Quickly turning stale
All along
This gospel trail
I got my brother and my best friend
Choking on your book of lies
I saw you kill the truth with your eyes
Made everybody look like a fool
I saw the good Lord's words
Written on a bomb of nails
All along, all along
This gospel trail
I see blood run like a river
Cos of all your mistakes
Your song of compassion
Turned out to be just a fake
So now the innocent on both sides
They're gonna scream and wail
All along, oh all along, along
This gospel trail
Shy Boy lyrics - Chris Rea
Shy boy
What's this thing that makes you blue
Shy boy
Hurting in everything you do
Why boy
Can't you throw away those chains
Don't be shy boy
Shy shy boy
Shy boy
Don't you let this moment go
Shy boy
How you love to let her know
why boy
Do you let it hurt you so
Don't cry boy
Don't be a shy boy

But you sure can't hide
It's so easy to see
Deep down inside
What you're feeling
What you're going through
You're whole world's turning
Turning a deep shade of blue
Swap your tears of pain
To tears of joy
Don't be shy boy
A shy shy boy
What's this thing that makes you blue
Shy boy
Hurting in everything you do
Why boy
Can't you throw away those chains

You're whole world's turning
Turning a deep shade of blue
Swap your tears of pain
To tears of joy
Don't be shy boy
A shy shy boy
Come Change My World lyrics - Chris Rea
I walk in your garden
And I feel your soul
This time like no other
I don't fear to go
My eyes are wide open
And I'm ready to be
Whatever you're thinking
I already see
Come change my world
Make it better that it was before
Come change my world
You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what you are
Come change my world
Cos I walk in your garden
This time I can see
This time forever
It feels so safe to just let it be, let it be
Come change my world
Make it better that it was before
Come change my world
You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what we are
Come change my world
Oh come change my world
And I feel your soul
This time like no other
I don't fear to go
My eyes are wide open
And I'm ready to be
Whatever you're thinking

Come change my world
Make it better that it was before
Come change my world
You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what you are
Come change my world

This time I can see
This time forever
It feels so safe to just let it be, let it be
Come change my world
Make it better that it was before

You come banging on my door
Two broken angels
Sharing life's scars
You don't wanna change me
And I love what we are
Come change my world
Oh come change my world
Call On Me lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh child
Why did you do yourself so much harm
Don't you know don't you know
There's such a long way to go
If I could turn every scar and pain
Into some kind of help for you
I would give anything and everything
To show the way for you
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
I know what you're thinking
I hear what you say
The pain that you're feeling
You say won't go away
But I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I would break every one of them one more time
If that's what it takes to get you home
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
Why did you do yourself so much harm
Don't you know don't you know
There's such a long way to go
If I could turn every scar and pain
Into some kind of help for you
I would give anything and everything
To show the way for you
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
I know what you're thinking
I hear what you say
The pain that you're feeling
You say won't go away
But I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I would break every one of them one more time
If that's what it takes to get you home
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
Just In Case You Never Knew lyrics - Chris Rea
Just in case you never knew
I wanna say
What I feel about you
I wanna tell you
My love is true
Just in case you never knew
Just in case you never knew
Something deep inside
Make me feel oh so blue
Waiting for the sun to break through
So I'm saying it's true
Just in case you never knew
Oh, I've always loved you
Every day though it's crazy I know
My soul she won't let it go
She keeps telling me telling me telling me
So I got to let you know
Just in case, just in case
You never knew
Oh I know
This could make me look like a fool
But darling, oh darling I don't care
Baby I know
I'm acting so uncool
But I got to let you know
My love is there
So I'm telling you my love is true
Just in case you never knew
I wanna say
What I feel about you
I wanna tell you
My love is true
Just in case you never knew

Something deep inside

Waiting for the sun to break through

Oh, I've always loved you
Every day though it's crazy I know
My soul she won't let it go
She keeps telling me telling me telling me
So I got to let you know
Just in case, just in case

Oh I know
This could make me look like a fool
But darling, oh darling I don't care
Baby I know
I'm acting so uncool
But I got to let you know
My love is there
So I'm telling you my love is true
Just in case you never knew
