Wet Wet Wet Album

If you only knew and all the problems
Like a man like me has to face
If you only knew and all the silly
Things that keeps a man in his place
I wouldn't wanna steer you wrong
But if you wanna sing your own song
Your gonna have to lose a few
If you only knew, yeah
If you only knew

If you only knew and all the dealings
That goes on in the back of your store
If you only knew how that one that's
Got a lot can't wait to get more, more, more, more
I wouldn't wanna cramp your style
But if you wanna make it all worthwhile
You're gonna have to have to bring it through
If you only knew, if you only knew

Gimme some horns

Yeah

C'mon steer me wrong
You won't steer me wrong

If you only knew
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you only knew what could happen to
A man for telling the truth, yeah
If you only knew and all the scruples
That go down in gin and vermouth
I wouldn't wanna steer you wrong
But if you wanna sing your own song
Your gonna have to lose a few
If you only knew, yeah

If you only knew
That goes on in the back of your store
If you only knew
If you only knew

What goes on in the back of your store
Hey baby, hey baby
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
What goes on in the back of your store
Hey baby, if you only knew

Have you ever been in love
Have you ever been in love

Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought of lying,
I'd rather think of dying instead
And maybe you remember the last time you called me
to say we were through
How it took a million tears
just to prove they all were for you
But those days are through

'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
if you loved me
And how could you love me
Well it wouldn't really make any difference,
if you really loved me
You just didn't love me

'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
And maybe you remember
Oh I can't always prove I was so true
No one else could change my mind or
stop me coming home to you
Cos those days are through

'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
if you loved me
And how could you love me
Well it wouldn't really make any difference,
if you really loved me
You just didn't love me

Enough to believe me, enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me, yeah, enough not to leave me
Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you
But those days are through

'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
if you loved me
And how could you love me
Well it really wouldn't make any difference,
if you really loved me
But those days are though

'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
if you loved me
And maybe you love me
Well it really wouldn't make any difference,
if you really loved me
But those days are though
Well it really wouldn't

Here I am strolling down
Atlantic Avenue
With the sunlight in my eyes
Here I am and there's nothing
I would rather do
When I want some peace of mind

Oh, I leave the smoke of Rio behind,
as evening starts to fly
I wanna feel the ocean breeze
where the mountains touch the sky

So come on
down Atlantic Avenue
Let the samba take a hold of you;
'cos I know there is no place
like the Avenue
When the music gets a hold of you

Drive along to Ipanema,
but there's always time to spare
Forget the troubles of the world
when they get too much to bear

Oh oh, wooh

Flying down to Rio
never thought I would be
walking by the ocean here today, no
Pretty soon I got to leave,
but I know my heart will stay

Everybody knows
Does everybody know, does everybody know,
does everybody know

I'm the town crier
And everybody knows
I'm a little down
With a lifetime ago
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

I'm a never gonna cry again
I'm a gonna be as strong as them
They say they'd die for love
And then they live it out
They'll give me something to cry about
Suddenly you really fall to pieces

I'm the town crier
And everybody knows
I'm a little down
With your lifetime ago
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
And other boys use the splendour of their trembling lips
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

Love and unhappiness go arm in arm
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm
Living for the pity that you're gonna get hurt
Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt
Suddenly you really fall to pieces
Fall to pieces

I'm the town crier
And everybody knows
I'm a little down
With a lifetime to go
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
And other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

Hi Angeline
Did you hear me saying
Singing for love
In the heat of the night

Angeline
Did you hear me saying
Calling your name
To the heart's plight

It really don't matter
If you leave in the morning
It really don't matter
If you never come home

It really don't matter
If you take to another
It really don't matter
If you leave me alone

Angeline
Did they say I was drinking
Angeline
Did they tell you I cried
Angeline
Tell me what you were thinking
When you saw me playing in the cold moonlight

So in love
To be in love

To be love

Angeline
Will you always be near me
Angeline
Will you always wear white
Angeline
Never stand to be lonely
Please Angeline please stay tonight

It really don't matter
If you leave in the morning
It really don't matter
If you never come home

It really don't matter
If you take to another
It really don't matter
If you leave me alone

So in love
To be in love
So in love
To be in love

There's an evil wind
That blows no good, yeah
There's a song
That don't love
Like I know it should

Woh, how lonesome (how lonesome)
You must be
It's a shame

You know when your love is gone
But it's bad (bad)
And even sadder, oh later on, oooooh

I must try to forget
Because I've got to live on

Oh it's a good thing
It's a sweet thing (it's a sweet thing)
When your love has gone
But it's bad (bad)
And even sadder
Oh, when it's not returned

Oh how lonesome
How lonesome (how lonesome)
You must be
Gonna be sad
And even sadder
If you don't share some of your love with me
Some of your love with me
Gonna be a bad bad shame

I'm just a scarecrow without you
Oh baby please don't disappear
I beg your pardon dear

I got a bottle for a trumpet
And a head box for a drum
I beg your pardon dear

I got upset
I lost my ear
I didn't mean those things I said
You are the landscape
Of my dreams
Darling, I beg your pardon

I gave you Boardwalk and Park Place
And all of my hotels
I beg your pardon dear

Please don't go back to St. Louis
Can't you tell that I'm sincere
I beg your pardon dear

I got upset
I lost my ear
I didn't mean those things I said
You are the landscape
Of my dreams
Darling, I beg your pardon

I'm just a scarecrow without you
Oh baby please don't disappear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
I beg your pardon dear
