lyrics

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO REALISE WHAT YOU FELT
IT’S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE I NOTICED YOU?
I TRIED YES I TRIED TO GET MYSELF ACROSS
COS I WAS SURE THAT DEEP INSIDE YOU KNEW
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
WHAT WAS ON YOUR MIND?
WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD ?
WE’VE GOT THE SAME WAY OF LIVING
THE SAME SENSE OF TIME
I THINK THAT IT’S ABOUT TIME I SAID

WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE
WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE

I KNEW IT HAD TO HAPPEN
IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS
BABY IT WAS MEANT TO BE
IT WAS PREDICTED
BUT IT TOOK A LONG LONG TIME
FOR YOU TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES AND SEE
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
WHAT WAS ON YOUR MIND?
WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD ?
WE’VE GOT THE SAME WAY OF LIVING
THE SAME SENSE OF TIME
I THINK THAT IT’S ABOUT TIME I SAID

WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE
WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WORDS CAN SAY
SOME THOUGHTS THAT HAVE NO REASON
BUT GIRL I ALWAYS KNEW SOMEDAY
THAT I WOULD MAKE YOU MINE

WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE
WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING
THEN YOU’LL KNOW THE MEANING OF LOVE
GET RIGHT ON INTO ACTION
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO REACTION BUT LOVE

MCKENZIE & GARDINER London, UK

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
