Simply Red

Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
Usually we were both right
Ok I’m crazy but maybe
I hope that turning the page somehow
Reveals a note that will claim you forever

Both of us, what a sight
In the mall there screaming
Believing it could be so right
‘Cause you know that you’re mine baby
Gotta get back home to you somehow
And take the blame for screaming much louder

Still you’re in my dreams
Ok not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned, but never burned
By your love

Your perfect love
(your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(your perfect love)
Your perfect love

Through the day and the night
Thinking of you lady
Here with a love that feels so right
I know it’s hazy but maybe
We’ve got to make it work out somehow
To keep a love that will last us forever

Still you’re in my dreams
Ok, not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned but never burned
By your love

Your perfect love
(repeat to end)

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.
