Enough LoveRick Astley

Not so long ago my life was oh so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, said what I want
Not so long ago my life was oh so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, and then you came
Once in my life I found a joy like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again

I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready, but I know I've got enough love

As the days go by, I see that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want
Do what I want, say what I want
As the days go by, yeah I feel that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want, do what I want
And only once in my life I may find a joy like this
One special moment captured by a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again

I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready, but I know I've got enough love

I've got enough love, ooh yeah, I've got enough love, ooh

And only once in your life you may feel like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of your life you may never feel like this again

I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready, but I know I've got enough love

Rick Astley

Richard Paul Astley is a British entertainer, most known for his 1987 sensation “Never Gonna Give You Up” which was the subject of rick-rolling. He recieved a Brit Award for Best Single in 1988 for his hit and a “Best Act Ever” Award at the 2008 MTV EMAs upon its re-emergence into popularity.

Born in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire on February 6, 1966, Astley’s first taste of music came at the age of 10 and he became known as a drummer throughout school before dropping out at age 16. He played for a local live act entitled “FBI” (with future Conservative Party politician David Morris as guitarist) that gained popularity around London. Astley, a huge admirer of Nat King Cole soon moved to lead vocalist by the time the group garnered the interest of Pete Waterman, a record executive and 1/3 of the Scott-Aitken-Waterman production trio. Waterman hired a 19 year-old Astley as a gofer (assistant) and Morris as a songwriter at his PWL (Pete Waterman, Limited) Studios. He used this time to pull Astley out of his ‘shyness’ and secured them both a contract with RCA Records.

“When You Gonna” with fellow PWL protégé Lisa Carter was his debut release, but it found little success and received no promotion; it was Lisa’s only official output. His first solo release, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, was dropped on July 28, 1987, and turned Astley into an international star. It topped 24 different charts and moved nearly 2 Million copies. Astley’s debut album Whenever You Need Somebody found similar success – it collected Gold or Platinum certifications in 10 different regions, including Platinum 4x in the United Kingdom.
