OK, I'm the one who took you for granted
I've made my mistakes, wake up let's not break up

Thrill me - You've got a love so strong
Thrill me - You really turn me on
Thrill me - Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me - I'm gonna treat you right

You said that I would never let you be alone
How many times have you been on your own
Worked all the days to find the things you try to do
If only my heart would never let you through
Because you

Thrill me - You've got a love so strong
Thrill me - You just can't do me wrong
Thrill me - Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me - I'm gonna treat you right

The truth is you've gone and left me on my own
How can I face the fact you're really gone
Love was a phase we'd have to pray to make it true
If only my heart would've never let you through
Because you

Thrill me - You've got a love so strong
Thrill me - You really turn me on
Thrill me - Wait till tomorrow night
Thrill me - I'm gonna treat you right

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.
