I thought I could be
Someone other than me
Playing the game
Always the same
Through it all now I see
'Cause love welcomes arms
Who finally fall
You gave me all that I need
When you said 'i need you'
We'll sit together and work it all out
We'll love together and work it all out
And if it rains well I'll stand up and shout
Let's sit together and work it all out

I finally found
Both feet on the ground
We're like colours through to the end
Take the hand of a friend
We'll sit together and work it all out
We'll love together and work it all out
And if it rains well I'll stand up and shout
Let's sit together and work it all out

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
