Crying on the words you wrote me this morning
Tears felt like rain as the pain kept on going
And I say it was true
I still can't believe you left without warning
Told me in a text without even calling
I never knew how I was hurting you

That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart may pursue you even more

I can't hold you back from wanting to run free
Everybody knows that love don't come easy
I owe you happiness too
If you change your mind you know I'll be waiting
Just give me a sign I'm anticipating
One small proof is all that I ask of you

That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart may pursue you even more
That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart may pursue you even more

I'll be waiting here for you when you need me
Gonna do my best but you know it ain't easy
I'm just a guy all I can do is try
When you're all alone and start reminiscing
Think of me at home and how much I'm missing you
If only you knew

That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart may pursue you forever more
Sad but true it's so hard to undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard to undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard to undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard to undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for their own happiness

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.
