How could i fall for someone so superficial

Funny how the things that you can never
Have
Needle you more
Tired of standing in the rain
Praying for sunshine again

I remember your eyes
Wish i could see through them
How could i fall
If i could

Our love was like the wind
We blew it away
Tired of dealing with your games
Praying i'll never need you again

I remember your eyes
Wish i could see through them
We could have loved so much
Why didn't we try make it right
Would it have been enough
If i could

I remember your eyes
Wish i could see through them
How could i fall
If i could

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.
