Dusty Springfield

Songwriter: Sting Jean-Alain Roussel

It's the end of our journey
What can I do?
Lonely together
When I'm alone with you

Now that we've come so far
It seems like the end
We could be lovers
We could never be friends

I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends

We can never talk
Like others seem to do
Lonely together
Making love to you

We don't get nothing
From the letters we send
We could be lovers
We could never be friends

I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends

Plus a new relationship
You know you break my heart
What I feel for you's too strong
It has been from the start
Everytime I see your face
It's tearing me apart
What is need is love from you
Oh, but I can't?

I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
I don't think we could ever
I don't think we could ever be friends
Ah, ha

British singer, songwriter, and producer. Born as Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien to an Irish family with a background in music, on 16 April 1939 in London, England, she started her music career with folk groups the Lana Sisters and the Springfields, before she went to initiate her solo career in 1963 with “I Only Want To Be With You”, which charted No. 4 on the UK Official Charts.

She is cited as the first singer to introduce the music of Motown to the British audiences in 1965 when she hosted a special episode of programme Ready Steady Go! “The Sound of Motown”. Charting of her succeeding singles, albums, ensued in the British and American music charts, as she embarked on hosting a BBC television variety show titled “Dusty” (1966-1969).

Between 1968 and 1975, she relocated to the United States, and recorded several albums and singles for Atlantic and Dunhill Records such as “Dusty in Memphis”; the album did not sell well during its first release but has been retrospectively praised as one of Springfield’s magnum opus by music critics. Several albums followed until in 1974 she halted making solo albums and went to sing backup vocals for several artists. By 1978 she made a comeback and continued recording and singing at various venues, such as her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys, until her death on 2 March 1999 from breast cancer in Oxfordshire,
