01-IS IT A CRIME – C1 Mi m
Sade
It may come,
it may come as some surprise
but i miss you
i could see through all of your lies
but still i miss you
he takes her love,
but it doesn't feel like mine
he tastes her kiss,
her kisses are not wine,
they're not mine
He takes,
but surely she can't give
what i'm feeling now
she takes,
but surely
she doesn't know how
Is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me too
My love is wider,
wider than Victoria lake
my love is taller,
taller than the Empire State
It divides and it jumps
and it ripples like the deepest ocean
i can't give you more than that,
surely you want me back
Is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me too
Instrumental break
My love wider than Victoria lake
taller than the empire state
It dives and it jumps
i can't give you more than that,
surely you want me back
Is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me

In heaven's name why are you walking away?
hang on to your love.

take you time if the going gets tough.
it's so precious.
So if you want it to get stronger
you'd better not let go.

hand in glove.
hold on tight, don't fight.
hang on to your love.

are you walking away?
hang on to your love.

hang on to your love.
Be brave when the journey is rough,

when you're in love.
don't be ashamed
when the going gets tough
it's not easy,
don't give up.
If want it to get stronger
you'd better not let go.
you got to hold on longer
if you want you love to grow.

hand in glove.
hold on tight, don't fight.
hang on to your love.
In heaven's name why

03-CHERRY PIE – C1 Fa# m
Sade
Gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart.
gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart.
When i met you boy, you were as sweet as cherry pie.
that smiling eye you were as wild as friday night.
i should have known how ever hard you try.
change'd come and strangle it.
it was bound to die.
You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as friday night.
sweet as cherry pie,
wild as friday night.
Gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart in two.
gotta find out what i meant to you, oh boy.
Gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart in two.
where were you just when i needed you?
You gave me your soul for at least a day.
"listen boy, there was a time when i wanted you to stay."
you'll know the cost, it's you who's gonna pay.
i'm stronger now, i loved you then.
i'll ask you anyway.
You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as friday night.
sweet as cherry pie,
wild as friday night.
Gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart in two.
where were you just when i needed you, boy?
Gotta find out what i meant to you.
you're the one who broke my heart in two.
i needed you...
You teased me.
you broke my heart.
you broke my heart.
You were the only one.
you were the only one.
you're a son of a gun.
You were the only one.
you were the only one.
04-SMOOTH OPERATOR – Re m
Sade
Diamond life, lover boy.
we move in space with minimum waste
and maximum joy.
city lights and business nights.
when you require streetcar desire
for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
when sentiment is left to chance.
no place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
he's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago,
western male.
across the north and south, to Key Largo,
love for sale.
---guitar and sax break---
Face to face, each classic case.
we shadow box and double cross,
yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
melts all your memories and change into gold.
his eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
he's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, la to Chicago,
western male.
across the north and south, to Key Largo,
love for sale.
Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...
05-THE SWEETEST TABOO – C1 La m
Sade
If i tell you, if i tell you now
will you keep on, will you keep on loving me
if i tell you, if i tell you how i feel
will you keep
bringing out
the best in me
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
you give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
too good for me
There's a quiet storm
and it never felt like this before
there's a quiet storm
that is you
there's a quiet storm
and it never felt this hot before
giving me something that's taboo
You give me the sweetest taboo
that's why i'm in love with you (with you)
you give me the sweetest taboo
too good for me
I'd do anything for you,
i'd stand out in the rain
anything you want me to do,
don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm
and it never felt like this before
there's a quiet storm
i think it's you
there's a quiet storm
and i never felt this hot before
giving me something that's taboo
You give me the (you give me, you give me the)
sweetest taboo
that's why i'm
in love with you (with you)
you give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
too good for me
You've got the biggest heart
sometimes i think you're just too good for me
every day is Christmas, and every night is new year's eve
Will you keep on loving me
will you keep on, will you keep on
bringing out the best in me
<instrumental>
06-YOUR LOVE IS KING – La M
Sade
Your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
your love is king,
never need to part.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
tearing the very heart of me.
i'm crying out for more.
Your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
your love is king.
you're the ruler of my heart.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
i'm crying out for more.
your love is king.
I'm coming up, i'm coming.
you're making me dance, inside.
Your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
your love is king,
never need to part.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
tearing the very heart of me.
i'm crying out for more.
Touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
i'm crying out for more.
your love is king.
This is no blind faith
this is no sad and sorry dream.
this is no blind faith
your love...
your love is real... gotta crown me with your heart,
never, never need to part,
touch me.
never letting go,
never letting go,
never going to give it up.
