Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Ocean

I've got to keep on keeping on

I just wanna be beside you

Wanna do the best I can

Even though you've made it plain

You don't believe in love

I can't let you go

I can't walk away

Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet

Pure and sweet

How you haunt my memory

Believe me baby

In this brilliant world you're the best

You're like a porcelain charm

A perfumed smile

A teenage blush

You're like champagne roses

Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

I've got to keep on keeping on

How can I live without you

I've got to make you understand

Each species has a mate

And fate says you'll be mine

I won't let you down

Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet

Pure and sweet

How you haunt my memory

I believe in angels

You leave me no alternative

You're like a butterfly

A gospel choir

A sun kissed sky

You're like sensual velvet

Believe me baby

In this brilliant world you're the best

You're like a porcelain charm

A perfumed smile

A teenage blush

You're like sunshine roses

Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man
