A Number of Words Songtext
von Labi Siffre

I could be happy if only you′d-
Stay
-With me, it would be any way that you say
I'm selfish and lazy and much more besides
It′s time we were married the children are nearly-

Five
-Years ago you were happy here with me
I'd bring your morning tea
And I knew that it was all worthwhile
Cause you'd look at me and then you′d-

Smile
-At me now cause I need you the-
Most
-Of my life I′ve been living for me and I hurt you
I know what you'd have to be lonely
Believe what I say when I say that I′m saying I'll really be-


Good
-Times are on their way back here again
I know just how and when
We′ll take a trip across the bay
And then we'll sit and watch the children play

Making up is going to be fun
No sooner said than it′s done

I never meant to make you feel this way
Whatever you want, just say
I need you here to be my girl
I'd give you anything in-

The world
-Is a place where it's sad to be-
Lonely
-Is one of a number of words we could all do-
Without
-You I know I could never be-
Happy
-Is one of a number of words everybody should shout

Well what do you say?
Is everything ok?
