The original trio comprised of American Andrew Thomas, British John McInerney, and Jamaican Trevor Taylor - the original lead vocalist. The debut single L.O.V.E In My Car failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up You're A Woman was a massive success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.
Trevor Taylor provided the lead vocal for the group's early hit singles including You're A Woman and Pretty Young Girl. The 1987 single Come Back And Stay was the first to feature John McInerney on lead vocal. Although the track was originally recorded as demo with Trevor Taylor's voice, the producers subjectively chose John McInerney's version. This created tension within the group which ultimately lead to Trevor Taylor's departure. John McInerney went on to perform lead vocal on the vast majority of Bad Boys Blue's output.
The group became massively popular in Eastern Europe, with the band performing to sell-out crowds in Russia and the Ukraine. In contrast the group never charted in the UK and their only charting USA single was Save Your Love.
The group has experienced numerous line up changes. In 1988 Trevor Taylor left the group - a year after being practically demoted to backup singer - but was asked to rejoin the group the following year just for recording sessions of Hungry for Love single that was to be featured on the group's first compilation album Bad Boys Best. Trevor Taylor's departure permanently secured John McInerney's position as the band's new lead vocalist. Trevor Taylor was replaced by Trevor Bannister. Trevor Bannister left in 1993 and the remaining two members performed as a duo. Mo Russel joined the group in 1995. In 1999 Kevin McCoy (stage name JoJo Max) replaced Mo Russel by joining Bad Boys Blue fulltime after being the group's rapper since 1998, but left in early 2003 leaving Bad Boys Blue as a duo again. However, in 2006, Kevin McCoy rejoined Andrew Thomas' Bad Boys Blue line-up (see below).
In 2005 Thomas and McInerney split under less than amicable circumstances. Carlos Ferreira joined John McInerney in 2006 and new material is said to be forthcoming from this, presently Poland-based, duo. Andrew Thomas also formed a version of Bad Boys Blue with former member Kevin McCoy and singer Herb McCoy but they are not signed to any record label. The question of who gets to officially use the Bad Boys Blue brand name has not yet been resolved.
A World Without You
Bad Boys Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a fool and you think it's groovy
You're giving in to some other guy
Who gives you the eye
You don't give nothing to me
You painted a smile and you dress for awhile to excite me
But don't you know that you're turning me on
But I can't stop the pain inside me
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart but what can I do
Baby (baby) love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you?
You walk like a dream
And you make like a queen on the action
You're using every trick in the book
The way that you look
You're really something to see
You're cheating your life to impress any guy that you fancy
But don't you know I'm out of my mind
So give me a sign
That helps to ease the pain inside me
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart but what can I do
Baby (baby) love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you?
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart but what can I do
Baby (baby) love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you?
(Baby) love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart but what can I do
Baby (baby) love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you?
The lyrics to Bad Boys Blue's song "A World Without You" depict someone who is in love with a person who is not reciprocating the same level of feelings. The song talks about the singer's pain and emotional turmoil when he witnesses his love interest with another person. The first verse talks about how the love interest is going around town with another person, unaware of the pain she is causing to the singer. The second verse talks about how the love interest is using all her charms to impress anyone she likes, but the singer is still in love with her, unable to move on.
The lyrics of the chorus, "Baby, love really hurts without you / Love really hurts through and through / And it's breaking my heart, but what can I do without you?" depicts the agony of the singer who is powerless to do anything except suffer in silence. The song elicits feelings of helplessness, longing, and heartbreak. The lyrics are a potent reminder of how being in love can sometimes bring nothing but pain and turmoil.
Overall, the song delves into the themes of unrequited love, heartbreak, and the powerlessness that comes with it.

You're running around town
You're aimlessly moving around the city
Like a fool and you think it's groovy
You're behaving foolishly and you think it's cool
You're giving in to some other guy
You're surrendering to another man's advances
Who gives you the eye
Who shows interest in you
You don't give nothing to me
You're not giving anything to me
You painted a smile and you dress for awhile to excite me
You wear makeup and dress nicely to impress me briefly
But don't you know that you're turning me on
But you don't know that you're arousing me
I know that it's wrong
I understand that it's inappropriate
But I can't stop the pain inside me
But I can't resist the emotional anguish I feel
Baby, love really hurts without you
Darling, love is truly painful without you
Love really hurts without you
Love is exceptionally painful without you

Darling (darling), love is truly painful without you

Love is painful to the core
You walk like a dream
You walk gracefully like a dream
And you make like a queen on the action
And you act like a queen when it comes to men
You're using every trick in the book
You're employing every cunning stratagem
The way that you look
The way you appear
You're really something to see
You're remarkable to behold
You're cheating your life to impress any guy that you fancy
You're misleading yourself to attract any man that you like
But don't you know I'm out of my mind
But you don't know I'm losing my sanity
So give me a sign
So indicate to me
That helps to ease the pain inside me
That alleviates the discomfort within me
Baby, love really hurts without you

Love ❤️ this breath taking 80s song :
The bright light of the boulevard
Is shining in your tender eyes
Your perfume is exciting me
It's still the same
Michelle
How I love when we love
And I love when you whisper
"Je t'aime"
Michelle
Mom amour, is it true
Do you feel the way I do?
A world without you
A world on my own
Without your love
My heart will turn to stone
A world without you
A day without light
Without your touch
I couldn't stand one night
Oh, Michelle
I know, there'll be no better heart
No better heart to hold on to
If you should ever let me down
I can't survive
Michelle
How I love when we love
And I love when you whisper
"Je t'aime"
Michelle
Mon amour, is it true
Do you feel the way I do?
A world without you
A world on my own
Without your love
My heart will turn to stone
A world without you
A day without light
Without your touch
I couldn't stand one night
Oh, Michelle
C'est toi
Et ce soir je te veux
Faire l'amour avec toi
Je t'aime
Je sais
Mon amour
Queu tu es le seul pou moi
A world without you
A world on my own
Without your love
My heart will turn to stone
A world without you
A day without light
Without your touch
I couldn't stand one night
A world without you
A world without you
Oh Michelle

Просто безподобно. Шедевр. Оргазм для слуха!
@Razakhun
Мне 26 лет. Слушаю и возвращаюсь в детство, когда мне было 4-6 лет: лето, вечер во дворе, много гостей и все танцуют под эти песни, играющие из отцовской кремовой "шестерки"! Боже, как я люблю БББ и Моден Токинг! На меня сейчас ровесники смотрят как на дурака, когда я пою эти песни. Ностальгия накрывает. Времена, когда у родителей было несметное количество друзей и все были дружные, не то что сейчас(((
@user-gdsxvhrfgg
Так этим песням почти 40 лет!.....5 лет тебе дураку видители было..

@@user-gdsxvhrfgg, все правильно он пишет, в нулевые новый "виток" этих песен был, ретро фм раскручивал песни 80 и 90х во всю, именно тогда я и узнала эту группу ☝️ да и всех остальных типа Joy, Fancy... Пацаны из BBB по всей России гастролировали, даже заехали в наш не миллионный город👍👌
