Overview

Bernard: “A very difficult song to write, with a tortuous route to get to where it is now! I can’t categorise it, but loosly, it is a dance record. Get Ready had no dance tunes, which we were very aware of, especially after we toured that record in 2001. It’s important to keep the balance.

Hooky: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

Just another day in the week 
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me 
Maybe I'm losing my mind

Real love can't be bought …

Just another day in the week 
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me 
Maybe I'm losing my mind 
Searching for another place in another time 

Real love can't be bought 
It is wild and it can't be caught 
Real love can't be sold 
It's another color than gold 

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it 
(I need your love) Will you help me find it 
(I want your love) How can you deny it 
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it 
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know 
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show 
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong 
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong 

Standing on top of the world 
Thinking of the joy you bring when you do that thing to me 
You sure know a lot for a girl 
You could bring the good times back get me on the track 

Real love can't be bought 
It is wild and it can't be caught 
Real love can't be sold 
It's another color than gold 

I need your love) I just wanna buy it 
(I need your love) Will you help me find it 
(I want your love) How can you deny it 
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it 
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know 
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show 
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong 
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong 

(I need your love) 
(I need your love) 
(I need your love) 
(I need your love) 

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it 
(I need your love) Will you help me find it 
(I want your love) How can you deny it 
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it 
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know 
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show 
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong 
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong 

You and me just can't go wrong 
You and me just can't go wrong 
You and me just can't go wrong 
You and me just can't go wrong
