Label : BMG Rights Management (UK) Ltd
When I gave up on you
I took my time
Waiting for reasons to
Change my mind
But there were none
My fever went away
So it was clear to me
That we should be done
Even though it was breaking my heart
You were perfect at the start
So right
That’s why
Goodbye’s
So hard to say
And that’s the reason
I haven’t walked away
When I gave up on you
I gave up slowly
Waiting for reasons to
Keep us going
But there were none
My fever went away
So it was clear to me
That we should be done
Even though it was breaking my heart
You were perfect at the start
So right
And that’s why
Goodbye’s
So hard to say
And that’s the reason
I haven’t walked away
I tried as hard as I could
Sometimes people try harder than then should
We were One on a million
(?)
We were One on a million
And you know it’s true
We were One on a million
Wasn’t good enough for you
When I gave up on you
I took my time
Waiting for reasons to
Change my mind
But there were none
But there were none
Goodbye’s
So hard to say
And that’s the reason
I haven’t walked away
I tried as hard as I could
Sometimes people try harder than then should

○ Listen to “Blondie” Songs
● “Call Me ”
[ Quotable ]
Oh, he speaks the languages of love
Oh, amore, chiamami, chiamami
Oh, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any way
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day, any way
Take me out and show me off
And put me on the scene
Dress me in the fashions
Of the 1980’s
You’re a man, no in-between
You know what your words can mean
● “The Tide Is High ”
The Tide Is High” is a 1967 song written by John Holt, originally performed by the Jamaican group The Paragons, with John Holt as lead singer.
The song went mainly unnoticed in the rest of the world, until it was rediscovered in 1980, when it became a US/UK number one hit for the American band Blondie.
[ Quotable ]
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I’ll wait my dear till it’s my turn
I’m not the kind-a girl who gives up just like that, oh no
● “Sunday Girl ”
[ Quotable ]
She can’t catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she’s feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks’ll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he’s in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
