In every part of me I can feel you're moving away baby
I can feel you're moving away darling
More every day in every way
Deep down inside of me

I can feel I'm losing you baby
I can feel I'm losing you darling
More every day
In every way

Oh baby I've got the power to lead a true life
I've got the loving you need every night
I've got the power so
Why are you going away yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeaaah
You're moving away

Deep down inside of me
I can feel I'm losing you baby
I can feel I'm losing you darling
More every day oh yeah
In every way
Oh baby

I've got the power to lead a true life
I've got the loving you need every night
I've got the power so
Why are you going away yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're moving away
More every day

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
