Simply Red · It's Only Love
Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way IÂ’m feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ainÂ’t faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute, can't you see
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way IÂ’m feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why IÂ’m trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute, can't you see
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
After all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay, can't you see
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
Would tell you the way IÂ’m feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ainÂ’t faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute, can't you see
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way IÂ’m feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why IÂ’m trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute, can't you see
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
After all the pain you caused me

You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay, can't you see

Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
That IÂ…
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
IÂ… I feel you
I hope you comprehend
