Simply Red

This one's going out to you girl, wherever you may be
I may not be the way you wanted it, I got a need to be free
Yet I know that I need someone and I'm calling out to you
Come get me girl, come get me baby
I need you, I need you in my life

Whatever it takes to change girl, maybe I'll do it for you
If you can go as deep as I go, baby I'm gonna need you
I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night, not always in my life, I need you

I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night not always, but when it's right for you and me
Alright when it's alright, hey in my life

She'll be there and don't you worry
Keep looking and just keep cooking

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
