Red Red Wine
UB40 Lyrics

Red, red wine goes to my head
Drinking red wine makes me feel intoxicated and forget that I need my lover.

Makes me forget that I still need her so
My memory of needing my lover becomes fuzzy and unclear after consuming red wine.

Red, red wine, it's up to you
The wine is in control of my feelings and thoughts.

All I can do I've done
I have exhausted all options and feel helpless.

Memories won't go, memories won't go
Memories of my lover persist and cannot be erased.

I'd have sworn that with time
I thought that over time, my memory of my lover would fade.

Thoughts of you leave my head
I believed that thoughts and memories of my lover would eventually disappear from my mind.

I was wrong, now I find
To my surprise, I realize that I still think about my lover.

Just one thing makes me forget
Only when I drink red wine do I forget about my lingering thoughts of my lover.

Red, red wine, stay close to me
I want to drink more red wine to continue forgetting my lover.

Don't let me be alone
I am afraid of being alone with my thoughts and memories of my lover.

It's tearing apart my blue heart
My heart is broken and in pain because of the absence of my lover.

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Red wine makes me feel good and happy.

You keep me rockin' all of the time
Drinking red wine gives me a sense of power and energy.

You make me feel so grand
Drinking red wine makes me feel important and special.

I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
Holding a glass of red wine makes me feel rich and valuable.

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad
Sometimes, drinking red wine makes me feel melancholic and unhappy.

Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
When I finish drinking red wine, I feel a sense of emptiness and sadness.

Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line
Someone is rolling a marijuana cigarette (Rizla) on top of a music record groove (Dep line).

Red red wine, weh give me whole heap of zing
Red wine gives me a lot of energy and excitement.

Make me do my own thing
Drinking red wine gives me the confidence and freedom to do whatever I want.

You really know how fi love
Red wine is a great lover and companion.

Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
Drinking red wine feels like receiving a gift from heaven.

I loved you right from the start
I have always loved drinking red wine.

Whe give me whole heap of zing
Red wine gives me an intense feeling of excitement and pleasure.

Make me do my own thing
Drinking red wine gives me a sense of independence and freedom to make my own choices.

Red wine is being enjoyed in the style of the 1980s (possibly referring to the band's own sound).

Red red wine inna modern beat style
Red wine is being enjoyed with a modern musical style.

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
I need some time to think and clear my head.

Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you
I want to keep drinking red wine and not let it go.

Hold on to you 'cause I know yuh love truth
I am holding onto the truth that drinking red wine makes me happy.

Love you 'til I die, and that's no lie
I will always love drinking red wine and never stop.

Red red wine, can't get you out mi mind
I can't stop thinking about drinking red wine.

Wherever you may be, I'll surely find
I will always be able to find red wine wherever I go.

Make no fuss, just leave us
Let us continue drinking red wine and enjoying ourselves without any problems or interruptions.

Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline
Take a break and relax while smoking a marijuana cigarette (Rizla) on top of a music record groove (Dep line).

The line broke, the money get choked
Something went wrong and now there is no money left.

Bun bad ganja pon him likkle rowing boat
Someone has burned bad marijuana on their small rowboat.
