Tenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally

She shines the sun
She pours the rain
She touches me in places that I can't explain
She's got a powerful hold on me
The kind of hold from which I'd never struggle free

Tell me what you know
Tell me is it true
Do you really love me just like I love you
Everything I say
Everything I do
It's purely cos' I'm aiming to get hold of you

People tell her she could do better than me
She wouldn't necessarily agree
We've got a thing going on you see
The two of us together for eternity

Tenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she's inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally

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.
