Mandy
Westlife · Greatest Hits [2011]
Raining down as cold as ice,
shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
how happy you made me oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I've Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say
Oh baby don't you let me throw it all away
Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say
and I need you today oh mandy...
Mandy - Westlife
Released on the 2011 Greatest Hits compilation, "Mandy" is a high-energy pop track that exemplifies Westlife's signature sound from the early 2000s. The song features driving rhythms and an anthemic chorus, characteristic of the group's ability to blend pop-rock with melodic hooks. As part of their discography, it reflects the band's continued relevance and ability to craft radio-friendly material well into the 2010s. The recording stands as a testament to their collaborative songwriting style and vocal harmonies, which remain central to their identity. While not a chart-topping single from a specific studio album, its inclusion in a greatest hits collection highlights its enduring appeal within their catalog of popular recordings.
