Rick Astley Album

(Stock/Aitken/Waterman) 

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

* Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(* repeat)

give you up. give you up
give you up, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

(Stock/Aitken/Waterman)

My heart starts breaking
When I think of making
A plan to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
I'm gonna let you know
But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you

** My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know

* It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go

My heart's been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You'll grow to love me more
But whenever we're together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you

(** repeat)
(* repeat)

I tried to resist you
When you're gone, all I ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go

But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can't you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me

(** repeat)
(* repeat)

To ever let you go
I'll never let you go

(Rick Astley)

She wants to dance
She wants to dance with me
Oh yeah (dance with me)

There's a girl I've been waiting to see
And I really get the feeling that she likes me
'Cos she said so, but not in so many words
I've got to tell you what I've heard

She don't want no wild romance
When she's with me she only wants to dance

She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll let her be what she wants to be

Now I know I've been out of touch
And I never meant to hurt my baby oh so much
'Cos I love her and I think she love me
And that's the way it's got to be

When we're together we never fight
We've got better things to do tonight

She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll let her be what she wants to be

She wants to dance
She wants to dance

She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me

(Stock/Aitken/Waterman)

I'll bring my love to you
I'll bring my love to you

I've been stood up and messed around
And taken for a fool
But next time around
I'm gonna change the rules
And I don't care about the things that people say
It's you I think about each and every day
It's much to late for you to change your ways
I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
Call me, I'll be around

* Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you
You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you

Lost Inside your love is where I wanna be
I'm just asking you to spend some time with me
Time and time you say you wanna be free
And you can have some fun that's ok with me
You will never know just how good I feel
The joy inside of me makes me feel so real
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
Call me, I'll be around

(* repeat)

I'll bring my love to you
I just wanna be with you

It's much to late for you to change your ways
I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
I'll be, I'll be around

(Rick Astley & Rob Fisher)

She comes home in the morning light
Tries to hide the secret of last night
Tells a tale of working late
Says the things she knows I hate

Why should I convince myself
That she loves me and no one else
Feels like time to break the chains
I wont be fooled again

Gonna take my time
Gonna take what's mine
I'm gonna move right out
Gonna take my time
Gonna keep my pride
Gonna move right out yeah

When we kiss there's no flame
But I believe I'm not to blame
When we touch its by mistake
Tenderness she just can't fake

Who does she think I am
To let her love another man
I won't take another day
I just refuse to stay

Gonna take my time
Gonna take what's mine
I'm gonna move right out
Gonna take my time
Gonna keep my pride
Gonna move right out

Gonna take my time
Gonna take what's mine
I'm gonna move right out
Gonna take my time
Gonna keep my pride
Gonna move right out yeah

Oh I love her I really care
The days so long when she's not there
But I believe it just aint right
To see her with someone else tonight

Hear me now

Gonna take my time
Gonna take what's mine
I'm gonna move right out
Gonna take my time
Gonna keep my pride
Gonna move right out

Gonna take my time
Gonna take what's mine
I'm gonna move right out
Gonna take my time
Gonna keep my pride

(Rick Astley)

Giving up on love
Giving up on love
I was so crazy about you, everyone knew
I couldn't sleep when I found out, yeah
You feel the way you do
So maybe it's my turn now
To show you how I feel

So listen to what I say
'Cos these feelings I can't conceal

I'm giving up on love
'Cos I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more
I'm giving up on love
'Cos I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more

I don't believe that you need me
So don't say you do
There aint no reason for staying
We both know we are through

So don't try to stop me now
'Cos all we had has gone
(All we had has gone)
So listen to what I say
'Cos these feelings are oh so strong

I'm giving up on love
'Cos I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more
I'm giving up on love
'Cos I've been hurt before
Giving up on love
And I don't want you no more

Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up, giving up, giving up on love

So don't try to stop me now
'Cos all we had has gone
(All we had has gone)
So listen to what I say
'Cos these feelings are oh so strong

(Stock/Aitken/Waterman)

If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say
You knew you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

* Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

(* repeat)

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

(Stock/Aitken/Waterman)

Are we lovers
Or only just friends
Come tomorrow
Will I be lonely again
When you see me
Is it love in your eyes
What you feeling
Deep down inside

Do you think about me (think about me)
When I'm far away?
Do you dream about me (dream about me)
Can I find a way?
To make you want me (make you want me)
The way I want you
'Cos I think I love you (think I love you)
Could you love me too?

Take me to your heart
Never let me go
If you knew what I'm feeling
You would not say now
Take me to your hear
Never let me go
For your love, for your love
Is all I need to know

Can you tell me
When you look at me
If you need me
In all honesty
Because I'm certain
As sure as can be
I'd make you happy
Eternally

'Cos I think about you (think about you)
When you're far away
And I dream about you (dream about you)
Night and Day
Can I make you want me (make you want me)
The way that I want you
'Cos I think I love you (think I love you)
Could you love me too?

She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll let her be what she wants to be

'Cos I think about you (think about you)
When you're far away
And I dream about you (dream about you)
Night and day
Can I make you want me (make you want me)
The way that I want you
'Cos I think I love you (think I love you)
Could you love me too?

She wants to dance with me
'Cos I'll hold her so tight next to me
She wants to dance with me

You know I've been so lonely every night
Since you went away
Would you let me down any night
Is that the way you're made girl

I keep telling myself it's all right
Even though I cry
there's no question why
How could I be happy when

My arms keep missing you
Who's been kissing you
since you went away
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'll
come back today

You said you wouldn't hurt me anyway
And I believe in you
We said we trust each other every day
We'd never be untrue

But I keep thinking you're telling lies
Even though I try
there's no question why
How can I be happy when

My arms keep missing you
Who's been kissing you
since you went away
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'll
come back today

You know I've been so lonely every night
Since you went away
Would you let me down any night
¡®Cos that's the way you make girl

I keep telling myself it's all right
Even though I cry
there's no question why
How could I be happy when

My arms keep missing you
Who's been kissing you
since you went away
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'll
come back today

(Holland/Whitfield)

I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy
I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now I've heard a crying man is half a man
With no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep you
I don't mind weeping
If it'll keep you by my side

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
(Don't you go away) 
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

INSTRUMENTAL

(Don't you go away)
(Don't you go away)

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
Just to keep you from walking away
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
'Cause I wanna keep you any way I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Put yourself in my place
I only for a little while
Come on, try it, come on, try it
Come on, try it (try it, try it, try it)
Put yourself in my place
I only for a little while
Come on, try it, come on, try it
Come on, try it (try it, try it, try it)

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

(Astley/Fisher)

I walk the wire every night
I can't decide between wrong and right
I've lost control over the thing I do
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

Now the one who never took a chance
Becomes a victim of circumstance
I've lost my way, now I'm so confused
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

All my dreams are far behind me
They don't matter any more
I don't care about the things I could lose
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

Now the one who always played it safe
Becomes another who's lost his way
I can't believe it, though I know it's true
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

And all my dreams begin to blind me
And I was so confused
And I don't care about the things I could lose
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you

I'm not gonna fight it, I'm gonna choose
To hopelessly fall, oh yeah

(Astley & Carter)

[Rick]
love is a special thing
it means more to me than just a Wedding ring
when two people join as one
they don't know just what has begun

it comes to love, honour, cherish and obey
you promised girl that you would not go away

when you gonna come back home girl
you know I'm all alone, girl
when you gonna come back home
when you gonna come back home girl
you know I'm all alone, girl
when you gonna come back home

[Lisa]
love is a precious thing
so can't you see the joy that it can bring
so how can you be so cruel
you've gone and broken every rule

You promised to love, honour, cherish and obey
you promised me you'd never go away

when you gonna stay at home boy
you see I was alone, boy
when you gonna stay at home
when you gonna stay at home boy
you see I was alone, boy
when you gonna stay at home

[Rick]
love's got a hold on me
I need you girl, can't you see

[Lisa]
so why don't we spend some time
let's get together, maybe we could find

[Rick & Lisa]
we've got to love, honour, cherish and obey
we've got to promise that we'll never go away

never gonna leave you home, no
leave you all alone
now I'm gonna stay at home
never gonna be alone, no
you see I should have known
never gonna leave you home

(John Paul & Derek Bordeaux)

Your love is warm as a ray of sun
Touching me when the morning comes
So lucky am I to have you by my side
Forever

(Chorus)
Never knew love could feel this way
Never knew love could do this to me
Never knew love could feel this way
Never knew love could do this to me

Thought I had it all in the palm of my hand
Darkness had fallen on me and I didn't quite understand
Then came you you brightened up my days yeah
Forever

(Repeat chorus)

Oh I know
Never knew love never knew love

Could feel this way
Could do this to me
Could feel this way
Could do this to me
I never knew your love
Could do this to me
Could feel this way

(Rick Astley)

We've been trying for a long time
To say what we want to say
But feelings don't come easy
To express in a simple way

But we all have feelings
We all need loving
And who would be the fool to say, that if you

Hold me in your arms
I won't feel better
If you hold me in your arms
We can brave this storm together

We both know there's a problem
A problem that we've got to face
So put your trust in me, lover
No-one's ever gonna take your place

'Cos we all have a problem
We all have fears
But there's always got to be a way
Yes we all have feelings 
We all need loving 
And you would be a fool to say, that if you

Hold me in your arms
I won't feel better
If you hold me in your arms
We can brave this storm together

(solo)

You only have to hold me
Touch me to make me feel so good
You only have to hold me 
Feel me 
To make me feel the way you know I should

Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
When you gonna hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms

(Edward Hayman/Victor Young)

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel
that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

And the moment I can feel
that you feel that way too

(Rick Astley/Rob Fisher) 

She's taken my time. 
Convince me she's fine.
But when she leaves I'm not so sure.
It's always the same. 
She's playing her game.
And when she goes I feel to blame.
Why won't she say she needs me?
I know she's not as strong as she seems.

Why don't I see her cry for help?
Why don't I feel her cry for help?
Why don't I hear her cry for help?

I wandered around
the streets of this town
trying to find sense of it all.
The rain on my face,
it covers the trace
of all the tears I'd had to waste.
Why must we hide emotions?
Why must we never break down and cry?

All that I need is to cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.

No need to feel ashamed. Release the pain. Cry for help.

Cry for help is all I need.
All I need is a cry for help.
Cry for help is all I need.
All I need is a cry for help.

Why must we hide emotions?
Why can't we ever break down and cry?
All that I need is to cry for help. 
I will be there when you cry for help.
Why don't I hear her cry for help?

All that I need is to cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.

All that I need is to cry for help.
I will be there when you cry for help.
Is it so hard to cry for help?

(Cry for help is all I need.) No need to feel ashamed.
(All I need is a cry for help.) Come on and release the pain.
(Cry for help is all I need.) Put your trust in me.
(All I need is a cry for help.) My love is gonna set you free.

(Astley/West)

Children cry on the street
They don't have enough to eat
Mothers wait for days to end
A hopeless situation they can't mend

Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

(Chorus)
They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no-one else should get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

Daddy waits there in line
A little work he hopes to find
Something wrong with times like these
It's enough to bring a man down to his knees

Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)

Thinking of the children
You better be think about the children
Better be, you better be
Better be the ones you love
Better be, you better be
Better be the ones you love
Yeah yeah yeah

(Repeat bridge)
