Love Love Love

Joan Armatrading


I never thought love knew distance
I heard once smitten
It was wave goodbye
To the clubs and the dance on the tables shaking
Bad boy turned to a life of good

Passing round your number to a bunch of strangers
Girls in heels and their lips so red

They're not looking for love love love
They're looking for sweets
They're looking for a daddy
They're looking for sugar
Hey, hey, hey

Everybody told me it would never work out yeah
Living so far apart
And like a fool I though the oceans
Divided the continents
But not a faithful heart

Everybody told me that the sunshine that
I saw in your eyes was fake
That the blue was a too
I heard every single word they said
But it sounded like French
And Je ne parle pas francais

'Cause I was looking for
Love, love, love

OK, I decided in my fairy tale world
We were hands stretched across the sea
And every time somebody told tell me
You were playing around I said
Oh no
He wouldn't hurt me
But more and more I find there's no answer to all my mail
And I can't reach you on your phone
Last thing we planned so meticulously
You missed the plane
And I spent the night alone
I gotta tell you now

Always thought of you as stronger baby
You were bigger than the sky
Don't want revenge she ain't a lady baby
And you know that is what I am

All I get from you is an abridged illusive story
Try to put a spin on, cheating babe, now you bore me

Once I was naive and I listened to the lies
And what you told me I would just believe
But while your other female friends 
Are looking for a paycheck
It doesn't take money to please me

Do you read me
When you need me
I'm telling you babe
It cuts both ways
Believe me

Everybody told me it would never work out yeah
Living so far apart
Like a fool I though the oceans
Divided the continent
But not a faithful heart

'Cause I was so in love
Yeah, I was so in love
Yeah, I was so in love
Yeah, I was so in love
I was so in love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
