Guilty Lyrics


Well, hello baby
Come here and sit down and make yourself comfortable
Tell me something, how long have we known each other?
About ten months, huhSay what's that you got on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and John are engaged, huh?
You know he's a mighty lucky guy
He should be proud to have a woman like youListen, I've got something I wanna tell you and
Don't think I'm getting fresh or anything like that
But this thing been bugging me for a long time you know
And it's kinda getting heavier and heavier each and every dayAnd I've just gotta get it off my chest
See I've never seen anybody like you
I've never known anybody like you
(Guilty, guilty of loving you)Let me take you back to my childhood awhile
See, we had a medium size family you know and we weren't rich
But my mother, she tried to bring us up the best she could
(Guilty, guilty of loving you)Didn't commit no crime nor nothing
But I had to wait until I reach manhood to commit this crime
According to the code of love, if there is such a code

(Guilty, guilty of loving you)See, love is a thing that well, you know
It's a bit like quicksand
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
And when it hits you you've just got to fall
That's why I do believe that I am guiltySaid, I'm guilty, guilty of loving you
Said, I'm guilty, guilty of loving you
Of loving you
(Guilty, guilty of loving you)
(Guilty, guilty of loving you)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
UB40 are a British dub / reggae pop music band formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England.

The band is one of the most culturally diverse dub reggae bands with musicians of English, Scottish, Irish, Yemeni and Jamaican parentage. The band is named from the paper form issued by the UK government's Department of Health and Social Security at the time of the band's formation for claiming unemployment benefit (UB40 = Unemployment Benefit, Form 40).

UB40 were influenced by the many Blues Parties they attended as teenagers in the multiracial Balsall Heath area of Birmingham, their love of ska and reggae inspired such original tracks as King, Madam Medusa, Food for Thought, Signing Off and One in Ten.

Their early music style was unique, with a heavy influence of analogue synthesizers, psychedelic rock guitar, saxophone and dub producer techniques which were later perfected by the late Pablo Falconer.

Ali and Robin Campbell have a musical heritage, being sons of Ian Campbell, a folk musician.

The band purchased its first instruments with compensation money Ali Campbell received after a bar fight. They have had a number of hits, most commercially and to amusement of the band, "Red Red Wine", a cover version of a Neil Diamond song (in an arrangement similar to that of Tony Tribe's version). Their most successful single release is the cover of the Elvis Presley ballad Can't Help Falling in Love which was intended to be the main title to the 1992 Sharon Stone movie Sliver and was a Number One hit across Europe and in the U.S.

Many of UB40's recordings were inspired by 1960s ska and early lovers rock songs that would have otherwise been forgotten in the public eye. Their new injection of life into so many old Jamaican hits has resulted in many musicians' and producers' renewed popularity and income.

UB40's early music often tackled social issues such as racism and unemployment.

Other artists that UB40 have collaborated with include: Pato Banton, Madness, Bitty McLean, Chrissie Hynde, Robert Palmer, Hunterz, Japanese artist Mikidozan, French artist Nuttea, Lady Saw and Afrika Bambaataa.
