lyrics

I CAN’T FORGET THE WAY YOU TREATED ME
I WAS YOUNG AND SO NAÏVE
I REALLY FELT WE’D BEGUN TO GET IT ON
THEN YOU DECIDED TO LEAVE
WHY DID YOU DO IT TO ME BABY ?
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU’D LOVE ME
AND YOU’D ALWAYS STAY
THEN WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION
YOU TOOK MY LOVE AWAY

YOU RAN OUT ON ME GIRL
BUT NOW YOU WANT A SECOND ROMANCE
YOU TREATED ME LIKE DIRT
BUT NOW YOU WANT ANOTHER CHANCE
YOU’VE NO CONCEPTION OF
HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE
YOUR ONLY CONCERN IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

YOU TELL ME YOU FELT BAD AND SO ASHAMED
YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE WRONG
YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED
YOUR CASUAL DAYS ARE GONE
BUT I CAN’T FORGIVE YOU BABY,
FOR YOUR CHEATING AND YOUR LIES
THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO GIRL
TO ERASE THIS PAIN INSIDE

YOU RAN OUT ON ME GIRL
BUT NOW YOU WANT A SECOND ROMANCE
YOU TREATED ME LIKE DIRT
BUT NOW YOU WANT ANOTHER CHANCE
YOU’VE NO CONCEPTION OF
HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE
YOUR ONLY CONCERN IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

WHY DID YOU DO IT TO ME BABY ?
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU’D LOVE ME
AND YOU’D ALWAYS STAY
THEN WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION
YOU TOOK MY LOVE AWAY

YOU RAN OUT ON ME GIRL
BUT NOW YOU WANT A SECOND ROMANCE
YOU TREATED ME LIKE DIRT
BUT NOW YOU WANT ANOTHER CHANCE
YOU’VE NO CONCEPTION OF
HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE
YOUR ONLY CONCERN IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

They made their first demos in 1983 followed soon after by a 12" single ”FROM TIME” which became a highly sought-after Rare Groove. ... more
