英國歌壇紅星［瑞克艾斯里］──復古流行曲──［It Would Take a Strong Strong Man／這需要一個強壯男人］
(Stock/Aitken/Waterman)
My heart starts breaking
When I think of making
A plan to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
Im gonna let you know
But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you
** My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
* It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
My hearts been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
Youll grow to love me more
But whenever were together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you
(** repeat)
(* repeat)
I tried to resist you
When youre gone, all I ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go
But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Cant you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me
(** repeat)
(* repeat)
To ever let you go
Ill never let you go
(To ever let you go)
