Sade( 莎黛 ) Diamond Life

1.Smooth Operator

Lyrics：Sade Adu／St.John
Music：Sade Adu／St.John

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky
Heaven help him, when he falls
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, la to chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to key largo, love for sale

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


2.Your Love Is King

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

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
I'm coming,
You're making me dance


3.Hang On To Your Love

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

In heaven's name why are you walking away？
Hang on to your love
In heaven's name why do you play these games？
Hang on to your love

Take time if you're down on luck
It's so easy to walk out on 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
You've got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In heaven's name why are you walking away？
Hang on to your love
In heaven's name why do you play these games？
Hang on to your love

Be brave when the journey is rough,
It's not easy 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
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In heaven's name why are you walking away？
Hang on to your love
In heaven's name why do you play these games？
Hang on to your love

So 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
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In heaven's name why are you walking away？
Hang on to your love
In heaven's name why do you play these games？
Hang on to your love

When you find a love, don't let it walk away
When you find your love, you got to make it stay
Don't let it walk away
When you find your love, you got to make it stay

You've got to hang on to your love
You've got to hang on to your love
Why are you walking away？
Why do you play these games？


4.Frankies First Affair

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

Frankie, didn't I tell you,
'you got the world in the palm of your hand.'
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
'they're running at your command.'

You know the chains as if they're your invention
It wasn't your intension,
Frankie,
To fall in the trap you made

It's a crying shame
You left a trail of destruction
Heartbreaker, you know now,
They really did care cause it's your first affair
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
'the lion would come in for a kill,'
Frankie, didn't I say,
'it had power over your sweet skill.'

So where is the laughter you spat right in their faces？
Didn't I tell you,
Frankie,
That you might run out of aces

It's a crying shame
You couldn't win the game, heartbreaker
This time it's your first affair

Frankie
Frankie's first affair
It's your time to cry, heartbreaker
Frankie, frankie's first affair
It's your time to cry

It's a crying shame, heartbreaker
You know now,
They really did care cause it's your first affair

Frankie,
Frankie's first affair
Frankie,
Frankie's first affair

It's your turn,
To cry
It's your turn,
To cry
It's your turn,
To cry
It's your turn,
To cry

Don't you realise they really,
Really,
Really did care

The party's over,
Now you discover
It's your turn to cry,
And don't you realise,
It's the toughest game

The party's over,
It's your turn to cry


5.When Am I Going To Make A Living

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

When am I gonna make a living？
It's gonna take a while before I give in
See the people fussing and theiving
While the sharks are wheeling and dealing

Gotta look up and tell yourself,
There's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to
This is time to start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no-one else

When am I gonna make a living？
It's gonna take a while before I give in
See the people fussing and stealing
Too many lies, no-one is achiveing

Haven't I told you before,
'we're hungry for a life we can't afford.'
There's no end to what you can do
If you give yourself a chance to prove

We're hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
We're hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in

There's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to
Start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no-one else

When am I gonna make a living？
It's gonna take a while before I give in. yes it is
I'm sick and tired of scratching a living
I am hungry but i'm not gonna give in

We're hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we're gonna win


6.Cherry Pie

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Andrew Hale／Stuart Matthewman

Son of a gun

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
Oh boy, you broke my heart

Sweet as cherry pie
Sweet as cherry pie

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
Where were you just when I needed you？
Gotta find out what I meant to you, boy

Where were you when I needed you？
You were the only one
You were the only one
Son of a gun

You were the only one
I'm feeling strong,
I loved you then
So I ask you anyway

Gotta find out what I meant to you
You broke my heart
Gotta find out
Gotta find out what I meant to you

You teased me

You were the only one
You were the only one
Son of a gun

You were the only one
You were the only one


7.Sally

Lyrics：Sade Adu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

Sally, you opened out your arms to all those young men
And girl you had room,
For every one of them

You're the only girl
Who are the only girl on barry and third
Sure as hell,
You're the only one who cares

So put your hands together for sally
She saved all those young men
Put your hands together for sally
She the one who cared for them

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who can
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
One angry day in new york

Take a look at dave he was once seventeen,
Zoot suit and shiny shoes
He ran around town and threw his metholated laughter
Most of his memories drowned

But he remembers what his mother used to shout
She used to shout,
'one day, surely son,
The street are gonna tire you out.'

So put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who can
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
One angry day in new york

Tommy had a wife and family,
But the needle came between the love and the hard times
Thank god for sally,
She was there through the misery

Just a place to lay his head
Just about better off than dead

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who can
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
One angry day

Vince, came up from the country
Couldn't even find himself a room
Thinking about his babies
They're further away than the moon

With no money but his pride in his pocket
There's really no way he can go home
There's a picture of his woman in his locket
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone

So put your hands together for sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for sally
She was there when his luck was running thin

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who can
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
One angry day in new york


8.I Will Be Your Friend

Lyrics：Sade Ahu
Music：Sade Adu／Stuart Matthewman

I know that lately,
Things haven't been so good
I've always said,
'that if I could ever help you, I would.'

Ohhhh hooo I hooo. ohhhh hooo I hooo
I love you for a thousand years
Ohhhh hooo I hooo. ohhhh hooo I hooo
I'm here to wipe away the tears

I will be your friend,
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

When your falling apart I pick up each piece,
And build a wall around your dream
The punches to you heart,
Melt away when you never thought they'd heal

'so trust in me!'
These are the words I tattoo on you
If hercules can't pick you up now,
Then I really am true

I will be your friend,
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

Ohhhh hooo I hooo. ohhhh hooo I hooo
I love you for a thousand years
Ohhhh hooo I hooo. ohhhh hooo I hooo
I'm here to wipe away the tears

'you've got so much to give,'
I'll tell you just when you need to know
'get out and live,'
I'll pick you up when your feeling low

So here's my hand,
Trust in me I really am true
You've got to understand,
There's nothing I wouldn't do

I will be your friend,
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

I will be your friend,
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

'you've got so much to give!'
'get out and live!'

I will be your friend,
Until the end of time
I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

The punches to you heart
Take my hand
When you're falling apart
You've got to understand


9.Why Can't We Live Together

Lyrics：Timmy Thomas
Music：Timmy Thomas

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together？
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together？

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together？

No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together？

No matter, no matter what colour
You are still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what colour
You are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together？

Everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together

Everybody wants to live
Everybody's going to be together

Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to be together

I said no matter, no matter what colour
You're still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what colour
You're still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together？

Gotta live together
Together
