Labi Siffre A Number Of Words
[Instrumental opening]
[Verse 1]
I could be happy if only you'd stay
With me, it would be, any way that you say I'm
Selfish and lazy and much more besides
It's time we were married the children are nearly
[Chorus]
Five years ago you were happy here with me
I'd bring your morning tea
And I knew that it was all worthwile
Cause you'd look at me and then you'd smile
[Verse 2]
At me now cause I need you the most in my
Life, I've been living for me and I hurt you I
Know what you'd have to be, lonely, believe what I
Say when I say that I'm saying I'll really
[Chorus]
Be good times, on their way back here again
I know just how and when
We'll take a trip across the bay
And then we'll sit and watch the children play
[Bridge]
Making up is gonna be fun
No sooner said than it's done
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I never meant to make you feel this way
Whatever you want just say
I need you here to be my girl
I'd give you anything in the world
[Verse 3]
Is a place where it's sad to be lonely
Is one of a number of words we could all do
Without you, I know, I could never be happy
Is one of a number of words everybody should shout
[Outro]
Well what do you say?
Is everything okay?
[Instrumental, vocals]
