Simply Red

We all need somebody who's proud and believes
Who hears what you need, who's found underneath

I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman

Gaze at me, look at me, listen to me now
As I show you what true love can do
Days are to praise what you've given me now
Every day feels something new

I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman
It's you that I need
The truth is how good we can be

Cos I love a woman
So what could I need
I love you woman, yeah
That is all, it's in her I believe

I have the love of a woman
I have the love of a woman
It's you that I need
The beauty you give lives in me

Cos I love a woman
What could I need
I love you woman
What could I need
I love you woman
I love love
Love

I love that girl
I always will
I love that woman
I love you girl

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.
