Ali Campbell - Big Love (2003) by Ali Campbell (보컬) on maniadb.com

You keep telling me yeah, babe, but you don't mean it
You keep telling me no and tryin' to leave it
You giving me buts and maybes
You know that this is driving me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is?
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no now, darling
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no now, darling
Because I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe, you know
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no
You wear a plastic smile I know by your eyes
You speak with a definite style, you're telling me lies
You've got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me?
Why can't you take your honesty?
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no now, darling
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no now, darling
Because I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe, you know
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance You won't be leaving with me And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like I love you I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies You heard the night before And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true It never seemed so right before I practice every day to find some clever lines to say To make the meaning come through But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late And I'm alone with you The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red And oh the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like I love you The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red And oh the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like I love you I love you I love you I love you

High above the heat of a summer new york street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone

Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he losing and he using
And he says he doing fine

And they look from such a height
That somehow it all right
Theye talking back to the night
It all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
Theye talking back to the night for you

Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he trying hard to make it
And he trying not to burn

Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
And it no more than he needs
