I heard this song on the radio today in my car, and I love it!!! I really loved Lionel Richie in the 80's. All Night Long, was great, and I loved him in the Commodores-I love "Sail On".

Anyone else like this song??

Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love

And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love

All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (loving you)
Goof I love you
There's no one above you

[Chorus:]
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love

Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Goof, I love you
Always thinking of you

[Chorus]

I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you
I fall in love
Again and again and again, baby.

The Commodores "Sail On"

Sail on down the line, 'bout a
Half a mile or so, and I
Don't really wanna know, a
Where you're going

Maybe once or twice, you see
But time after time, I tried
To hold onto what we got, but
Now you're going

And I don't mind
'Bout the things you're gonna say Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm givin' you back your name, yeah, yeah

Yes, I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm looking for a good time

Sail on down the line, ain't it
Funny how the time can go, all my
Friends say the told me so, but it
Doesn't matter

It was plain to see, that a
Small town boy like me, just a
Wasn't your cup of tea, I was
Wishful thinkin'

I gave you my heart
And I tried to make you happy
But you gave me nothin' in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away, yeah, yeah

I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of bein' used
I wanna everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time

Woah, sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, sugar
Good times never felt so good

I like "Say You, Say Me," the best of Ritchie's songs, other he rarely does a bad one.
 
Posted by Nomisdrol (Member # 2688) on :
 
I agree with Chris. Say You Say Me is one of Lionel's best.

Now when will Cradle of Filth get around to doing a cover version I wonder...?


Noms [Cool]

Sorry, but I'm just not a Lionel Ritchie fan. Too mellow for me.

Back in the 80's, I had lots of pen-pals, and I always referred to him as "Lionel Wimpie"! [Smile]

Best Lionel Richie moments - courtesy of BBC motoring program Top Gear.

They have a slot called 'Star In A Reasonably Priced Car' where they interview someone famous, and then time them around their test track in a standard, unmodified family saloon car (a Suzuki Liana, I believe). Well they spoke a while back with Lionel, and apparently his first big purchase was a Mercedes. He went to the dealership, and the salesman came up to him. He pointed to this big motor, and asked if he could buy six (one for each of the Commodores). He was ushered into an office where the following conversation took place:

Mercedes Salesman:"Son, these automobiles are a lot of money. I'll need to check your finance"
Lionel Richie:"Sure, call the President of the Bank Of America. Here's his card"
MS: "OK..... {dials.... Hello sir. I'm calling from Detroit Mercedes. I have a lionel Rickey here, says he's a singer with a band called The Commandoes......{pause, and face goes red}.... Thank you, sir"

He then put the phone down, fixed his biggest smile, and said "Mr Richie Sir, would you like to discuss colors?"

Also, when he did his lap, the wheel fell off the car and he ended up way off the track!
