Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Love Love Love

I never thought love knew distance

I heard once smitten

It was wave goodbye

To the clubs and the dance on the tables shaking

Bad boy turned to a life of good

Passing round your number to a bunch of strangers

Girls in heels and their lips so red

They're not looking for love love love

They're looking for sweets

They're looking for a daddy

They're looking for sugar

Hey

Hey

Hey

Everybody told me it would never work out yeh

Living so far apart

And like a fool I though the oceans

Divided the continents

But not a faithful heart

Everybody told me that the sunshine that

I saw in your eyes was fake

That the blue was a too

I heard every single word they said

But it sounded like French

And Je ne parle pas francais

Cos I was looking for

Love love love

Ok I decided in my fairy tale world

We were hands stretched across the sea

And every time somebody told tell me

You were playing around I said

Oh no

He wouldn't hurt me

But more and more I find there's no answer to all my mail

And I can't reach you on your phone

Last thing we planned so meticulously

You missed the plane

And I spent the night alone

I gotta tell you now

Always thought of you as stronger baby

You were bigger than the sky

Don't want revenge she ain't a lady baby

And you know that is what I am

Aah aah aah

All I get from you is an abridged illusive story

Try to put a spin on cheating babe now you bore me

Once I was naive and I listened to the lies

And what you told me I would just believe

But while your other female friends are looking for a paycheck

It doesn't take money to please me

Do you read me

When you need me

I'm telling you babe

It cuts both ways

Believe me

Everybody told me it would never work out yeh

Living so far apart

Like a fool I though the oceans

Divided the continent

But not a faithful heart

Cos I was so in love

Yeh I was so in love

Yeh I was so in love

Yeh I was so in love

I was so in love

Love love love

Love love love

Love love love
