Lord
Oh yeah
Belive me
Oh yeah

Now once when I want you to go
My poor heart tell me no
But I can't stand it no more, my cup is overflown
Although it's you I once adored me
I need your love no more

So you can live your life, while I'll go on live mine
I wish you good luck and goodbye
I see you around some time
It's time that you should be wise
And take off your love disguise

Lord
Oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah

Now once when I want you to go
My poor heart tell me no
But I can't stand it no more, my cup is overflown
Although it's you I once adored
I need your loving no more

So you can live your life, while I'll go on live mine
I wish you good luck and goodbye
I see you around some time
It's time that you should be wise
And take off your love disguise(yeaeah)


Lord
Oh yeah
Belive me
Yeah yeah

So you can live your life, while I'll go on live mine
I wish you good luck and goodbye
I see you around some time
It's time that you should be wise
And take off your love's disguise(yeaeah)

Lord
Oh yeah
Belive me
Oh yeah

Lord
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Lord
Oh yeah
Belive me
Oh yeah

UB40

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.
