Duffy lyrics - Rockferry

Delayed devotion lyrics

It seems you wanna give me,
Oh a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you babe I watch you please

But your words come much too late,
My love for you has turned to hate

Cuz you've taken too much time,
To show me that your mine,

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that wont stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
where somebodys gonna talk to you,
You just let me wait now its too late
For your delayed delayed devotion

You try to convince me
Oh about the possabilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity

Cuz your actions speak nothing no more
When Its what Ive been waiting for

Cuz you've taken too much time,
To show me that your mine,

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that wont stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
where somebodys gonna talk to you,
You just let me wait now its too late
For your delayed delayed devotion

You played me for a fool, for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
Im no longer under your spell
Here it in a song You can go to hell

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that wont stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
where somebodys gonna talk to you,
You just let me wait now its too late
For your delayed delayed emotion

Distant dreamer lyrics

Although you think I cope,
my head is filled with hope...
of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope, from today.

Even when you see me frown,
my heart won't let me down,
because I know there's better things to come (Woah Yeah).

And when life gets tough,
I feel I've had enough,
I hold on to a distant star,

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life...

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

Yeah, I'm a dreamer

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today,

Yeah i'm a dreamer...

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer

Hanging on too long lyrics

It was just my mistake
Thinking you cared
It was just my mistake
Thinking you'd be there
That you'd be by my side
And that you wouldn't lie
My mistake

It was just my false hope
Thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your pests
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
But I beat 'em all
Hanging on too long

I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you
Hoping for a spark
For some kind of sign
That you would be mine

I know it's wrong, I do
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long

My heart was clutching
To one fair right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on
I'm hanging on too long

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long

Mercy lyrics

Yeah Yeah Yeah x4

I love you
but I gotta stay true
my morals got me on my knees
I'm begging please stop playing games

I don't know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell

[Chorus]
You got me begging you for mercy
why won't you release me
you got me begging you for mercy
why won't you release me
I said release me

Now you think that I
will be something on the side
but you got to understand
that I need a man
who can take my hand yes I do

I don't know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
why won't you release me
you got me begging you for mercy
why wont you release me
I said you'd better release yeah yeah yeah

I'm begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me yeah yeah

Rockferry lyrics

I'd move to Rockferry, to my road,
and I'd build my house baby, with sorrow,
I'll leave my shadow, to fall behind,
And I woulden't Write to you, Coz I'm not that kind.

The midnight trains are boarding, all at the ends,
I put my lord and i filled my trunk before it's too late,
I leave the stars to judge, while we moved,
I'm not going to think of you or I'll get the blues.

Theres no sleep on the journey, away from town,
A bag of songs and a heavy heart, won't make me doubt,
I give it all my strength and my mind,
I'll make this decision, win all the fights,

I'll move to Rockferry, to my road,
And I'll build my house baby, with sorrow,
I'll leave my shaddow, To fall behind,
And i won't write to you, coz i'm not that kind.

Not that kind
Rockferry

Not that kind
Rockferry

Not that kind
Rockferry

Scared lyrics

The blank pages of my diary,
That I haven't touched since you left me,
The closed blinds in my home,
See no light or day,
Dust gathers on my stereo,
Cause I can't bare to hear the radio,
The piano sits in a shaded space,
With a picture of your face,

I'm scared to face another day,
Coz' the fear in me just won't go away,
In an instance,
You were gone,
And now I'm scared.....

Coffee stains on your favourite book,
Remind me of you so I can't take a look,
The magazines you left on the floor,
You won't need them anymore,
A towel left hanging on the wall,
No sign of wet footsteps in the hall,
There's no smell of your sweet cologne,
I'm lying here alone,

I'm scared to face another day,
Coz' the fear in me just won't go away,
In an instance,
You were gone,
And now I'm scared.....

I'm scared to face another day,
Coz' the fear in me just won't go away,
In an instance,
You were gone,
And now I'm scared.....

In an instance you were gone,
I'm scared.....

Serious lyrics

Serious x 2

I’m a trophy on your arm,
You wear me like a charm,
Yes you do.
An accessory that suits,
Your new suede boots,
ohhh

I get a feeling deep down, inside,
Something just aint right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?

A joke on my expense,
In front of all your friends,
All the time.
A game you like to play,
Leaves me solo,
every day.

I get a feeling deep down inside,
Something just aint right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?

Serious? Serious in Love?

I get a feeling deep down inside ,
That something just ain’t right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me,
Tell me, can we ever be, tell me,
Serious? Serious in love?

Serious,
So Serious
Serious
So Serious
Break it down
Serious
Break it down
Serious
Baby
Serious (into fade)

Stepping stone lyrics

Verse 1.
i remember way, way back when
i said i never wanna see your face again
cause you were loving, yes you were someone else
and i knew, yes i knew i couldn't control myself
and now they bring you back into my life again
and so i put on face just like your friends
but i think you know, oh yes you know whats going on
cause the feelings in me, oh yes in me are burning strong.

chorus.
but i will never be your stepping stone,
take it all or leave me alone,
i will never be your stepping stone,
im standing upright on my own.

verse 2.
you still call me up from time to time
and it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
the words of love lye on my lips just like a curse
and i knew, oh yes i knew they'd only make it worse
and now you have the nerve to play along
just like the mistro beats in your song
you got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me
and the less you give the more i want, so foolishly.

chorus.
but i will never be your stepping stone,
take it all or leave me alone,
i will never be your stepping stone,
im standing upright on my own.

Syrup and honey lyrics

Don't you be waisting all your money on syrup and honey
Because i'm sweet enough
Don't you be using every minute on making a living
Because we've got our love
Listen to me 1,2,3

Don't you be out all night long

Don't you be spendin every day working away
Because i'm waiting for you
Listen to me 1,2,3
Baby, Baby, Baby
Spend your time on me

Spend, spend, spend your time on me

Warwick avenue lyrics

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over little time
Promise me you won't step outta line

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Please draw the past and be true
Don’t say we’re okay
Just because I’m here
You hurt me bad but I wont shed a tear

I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you're loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
Outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue
We’ll spend an hour but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you answers, now here’s the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue
I’ll tell baby there we’re through

Cause I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
An outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me.

All the days spent together
I wish for better,
And I didn’t want the train to come
Now it’s departed, I’m broken hearted
Seems like we never started
All those days spent together
When I wished for better
And I didn’t want the train to come.
No, no.

You think you’re loving
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me
You don’t love me
I want to be free
Baby you’ve hurt me
