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)
