I said we friendship come first, the band did come second
And that's why i decided to put it in a song
So listen crowd of people and throw up unnu hands
If you love dem their style and you love dem pattern

So give us what we want and mek we gwan

But don't get me wrong it a no big problem

Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby. broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Did i ever say, how i feel about you
A thing i never found that easy to do
The things that you do, don't need to be heard
You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words

(chorus)

I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork, and try a sup
And when you're empty, i'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up


I'm heading home, like a steaming train
Foot to the floor, in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only you can satisfy


(chorus)

I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty, i'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up

You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I`m holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could`ve been a broom
And babe you smell so sweet
You know you could`ve been some perfume

(chorus)

Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do


As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book


(chorus)

Well you could of been .......(etc)


You make my life so rich
You know you could`ve been some money
And baby you`re so sweet
You know you could have been some honey


(chorus)

Well you could of been .......(etc)


As pretty as you are
You know you could`ve been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book


(chorus)

Well you could of been .......(etc)

wise men say - only fools rush in,
But i can't help falling in love with you. (repeat)

Shall i stay - would it be a sin,
If i can't help falling in love with you.


Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be


Take my hand - take my whole life too,
For i can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be


Take my hand - take my whole life too,
For i can't help falling in love with you.

I cant help falling in love with you (x4)
