Simply Red

Anyone would cry over you
Too bad if they do
But baby I could try if you want me to
To help you let yourself go

Any man would die for you
But they're mad if they do
But baby let me get closer to you
So I can let you know
I got something for you
The joy of letting you know what you have done for me

Loving you has smiled on the face of a lonely man
Loving you has pride in the place of our home again

Loving you has smiled on the face of a lonely man
Loving you has pride in the place of our home again

Smile on the face of a lonely man
Pride in the place of our home again

Smile on the face
Pride in the place

When I get tired I'm gonna try
Let you wonder why
Any man would die

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.
