aqui falei dela e há dias recordei muito esta canção. 
um tempo houve em que este disco não saía do prato do gira-discos.



Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word, leaving for another one

Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground
Down to the ground Down to the ground

Brand new dandy
First class scene stealer
Walks through the crowd and takes your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror
Brush your eyebrows and say
"There's more beauty in you than anyone"

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you
Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in
She took the worry from your head
But then again
She put trouble in your heart instead
And you fall
Down to the ground Down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
Oh, the heartache you'll find
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door

Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving for another one
Now you won't put your feet back on the ground
Down to the ground Down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door

nunca mais houve uma voz como esta, ao mesmo tempo doce e rouca, ao mesmo tempo grave e aguda. 
miss armatrading nunca teve a notoriedade que merecia, mas muitas vezes a história da música é assim… 
ouvi esta canção pela primeira vez quando ainda andava no liceu, e logo desde aquele primeiro verso 
percebi que ia ser uma daquelas canções mais-que-perfeitas que me iam acompanhar sempre.


I am not in love 
But I'm open to persuasion 
East or West 
Where's the best 
For romancing

With a friend 
I can smile 
But with a lover 
I could roll my head back 
I could really laugh 
Really laugh

Thank you 
You took me dancing 
'Cross the floor 
Cheek to cheek 
But with a lover 
I could really move 
Really move 
I could really dance 
Really dance 
I could really move 
Really move 

Now if I can feel the sun 
In my eyes 
And the rain on my face 
Why can't I 
Feel love ?

I can really love 
Really love 
Love love love love 

Now I got all 
The friends that I want 
I may need more 
But I shall just stick to those 
That I have got 
With friends I still feel 
So insecure

Little darling I believe you could 
Help me a lot 
Just take my hand 
And lead me where you will 
No conversation 
No wave goodnight 
Just make love 
With affection

Sing me another love song 
But this time 
With a little dedication 
Sing it, sing it 
You know that's what I like 
Once more with feeling 
Give me love 
Love...

Make love with affection 
Sing me another love song 
But this time
With a little dedication 
Sing it, sing it 
You know that's what I like 

Once more with feeling 
Sing me another love song 
But this time 
With a little dedication 
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like 

With affection
With a little dedication
Once more with feeling
You know that’s what I like
Love…
