Red Red Wine
Chrissie Hynde/UB40 Lyrics

Red, red wine goes to my head
Drinking too much red wine causes me to forget about the person I still love

Makes me forget that I still need her so
My memories of us together won't go away, and the wine makes them hurt less

Red, red wine, it's up to you
The wine is the only thing that can make me forget about her

All I can do I've done
I've tried everything else to forget about her, but nothing works like red wine

Memories won't go, memories won't go
Even though I drink red wine to forget, my memories of her keep coming back

I'd have sworn that with time
I thought that over time I would forget about her

Thoughts of you leave my head
I thought that the memories of us together would fade away but they haven't

I was wrong, now I find
I was mistaken, and the only thing that helps me forget is red wine

Just one thing makes me forget
The only thing that can help me escape my memories of us together is red wine

Red, red wine, stay close to me
I need more wine to keep the memories of her at bay

Don't let me be alone
I need something to help me forget about her because I can't handle being alone

It's tearing apart my blue heart
The memories of us together are hurting me deeply and I can't take it anymore

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Drinking red wine makes me feel happy and helps me forget my problems

You keep me rockin' all of the time
Drinking red wine keeps me in a good mood and feeling alive

Red red wine, you make me feel so grand
Drinking red wine makes me feel like a million dollars

I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
I feel like the richest person in the world when I have red wine in my hand

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad
When I finish the red wine and it's all gone, I feel empty and sad again

Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
When I run out of red wine, I feel upset because I know I need it to forget

Red red wine, weh give me whole heap of zing
Drinking red wine gives me energy and excitement

Whole heap of zing, make me do my own thing
With red wine, I feel confident and able to make my own decisions

Red red wine, you really know how fi love
Red wine feels like it loves me and understands my pain

Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
Drinking red wine feels like a gift or a miracle that helps me cope

Red red wine, I loved you right from the start
I fell in love with red wine as soon as I tasted it because it helps me escape

Right from the start, and with all of my heart
I have always loved red wine deeply because it helps me forget about her

Red red wine inna eighties style
The red wine reminds me of the 1980s, a time in my life before I met her

Red red wine inna modern beat style
Drinking red wine is a modern way to escape and forget about my past

Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line
I roll a cigarette with a rolling paper called Rizla and smoke it while drinking red wine

The line broke, the money get choked
The rolling paper broke and my cigarette money is gone

Bun bad ganja pon him likkle rowing boat
I smoked some bad marijuana and it made me feel even worse about myself and my situation

Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you
I will keep drinking red wine until it helps me forget completely

Hold on to you 'cause I know yuh love truth
I trust that red wine will always be there for me and help me forget the truth

Red red wine, I'm gonna love you til' I die
I will always love red wine and need it to forget about her

Love you 'til I die, and that's no lie
I will never stop drinking red wine, and I'm not lying when I say that

Red red wine, can't get you out mi mind
I can't stop thinking about drinking red wine because it helps me forget

Wherever you may be, I'll surely find
I will always seek out red wine because I need it to forget about her

Make no fuss, just leave us
Don't complain or interfere with me and my red wine because I need it to cope

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
Let me drink more red wine until I forget about everything else

Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
I need the red wine that will keep making me feel happy and forgetful

You make me feel fine all of the time
Drinking red wine keeps me feeling happy and content all the time

Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline
I will roll up another cigarette and take my time while drinking more red wine
