I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me?
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

She's got me wishing for something that's missing
Staring at stars, getting high on her kissing
Now I got my girl, my girl got me
We're making plans for a family

I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me?
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

Together we'll stay, come what may
Nothing come between us or get in our way
This is for real, the really big deal
At last we've found someone who knows how we feel

I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me?
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

She took me out walking, I should not be talking
Whispered in my ear but I'm telling you nothing
If I were you, you know what I'd do
Get one of your own so you can whisper too

I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me?
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me?
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

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.
