A Little Knowledge - Scritti Politti

GREEN: Now I know to love you

FEMALE: Is not to know you

GREEN: Oh I got too near to you

Oh, in the court of contempt —

I have to tell you

FEMALE: One thing I’m certain

GREEN: I’ve been overtaken, girl

Oh, by the need to be loved

We don’t have forever

FEMALE: To find a reason

GREEN: How I lost the will to love you

out in the way of the world

Maybe I could see you

FEMALE: When this is over

GREEN: Maybe when our hearts are healed

Oh what a day to behold

BOTH: There’ll be a day, lovers away

(You can) call me and mend a broken heart

There’ll be a time long after mine

(He will) call you and mend a broken heart

GREEN: Not a lot to say now

FEMALE: Except I miss you

GREEN: Not a lot to take your place

Oh, in the heart of the boy.

Ooh a little knowledge

FEMALE: Is so exciting

GREEN: You became a part of me Oh, and the world that we knew

I guess it’s a sickness

Oh, and the heart that I loved

Still beyond believing

FEMALE: In love forever

GREEN: Quite the brightest star, girl

Oh, in the reason of sleep

FEMALE: There’ll be a day, lovers away

(You can) call me BOTH: and mend a broken heart

There’ll be a time long after mine

GREEN: Listen to her say

FEMALE: Got a little radio

Held to my body

I can feel your back beat boy

GREEN: Moving a muscle of love

FEMALE: Turn it up and press it I don’t understand it I can feel your message boy

GREEN: Calling me over and out

Here’s a verse for nothing

GREEN: To the way the world will be Now we’re apart and alone

Mustn’t be unhappy
