Simon Simon
Dale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is living dangerously
And taking all that you can get
Honest laughs and the way that freedom feels
And giving back with no regrets

Let me into your thoughts
Give me freedom to reign
(I) Want to run through your needs
Let me feel all your pain-pain

Simon oh Simon tell me do (love you)
Simon oh Simon is it true

Show me the way you feel
Be my torch into the night
I need all your love
And I'll be your breath for life-life

Don't you see, my kiss is real for you
In my silence here I share no fear
Think of your touch and see your face
Got to have you close--right here

Simon oh Simon tell me do (love you)
Simon oh Simon is it real (I wanna know)
Simon oh Simon is it true (love you)
Simon oh Simon tell me do (love you)

Love is living dangerously
And taking all that you can get
Honest laughs and the way that freedom feels
And giving back with no regrets

Show me the way that you feel
Be my torch into the night
(I'm gonna want this one)
I need all your love
And I'll be your breath for life-life

Simon oh Simon tell me do (tell me, love you
Simon oh Simon is it real (love you, baby do-I wanna know)
Simon oh Simon is it true (tell me tell me true, love you)
Simon oh Simon tell me do (is it true, tell me true, love me
Tell me do)

Simon, Simon

@Giddi Up Baby-Be Mine
(Lyrics by Dale, Music by Robert Brookins)

Tell me your fortune, kiss me up to GOD
(Giddi up baby be mine)
(??)

Shuffle my deck, push me out the door
(Giddi up baby be mine)
Tell me you want more

Hold me till Sunday, chain me to your waist
(Giddi up baby be mine)
Better say your grace

One luxury is truth
Locked in foreign disguise
(Giddi up baby be mine)
Seek escape in my eyes

Puff
Puff goes the dragon, give it up, show me how
Puff
Puff goes the dragon papa umm-right now

Uh, uh, Giddi up,
Baby won't you be mine
Uh, good god
Like, hey, what's the big deal baby
(??)

Temptress of late your heart skips a beat
(Giddi up baby be mine)
Never shall the twine meet

Dreaming out loud makes my wishes come true
(Giddi up baby be mine)
Hush me the way you do

Puff...

Giddi up, baby won't you be mine
Somebody uh! Giddi up
Baby won't you be mine
Giddi up, baby won't you be mine
Good! Baby won't you be mine
Giddi up
Baby won't you be mine?

Puff...

Uh! Good God! Giddi up
Baby won't you be mine
Baby won't you be mine
Makes me wanna slap somebody, yeah, uh
Giddi up




Baby won't you be mine, giddi up
Giddi Up, Baby won't you be mine...(fade))

Somebody uh! Giddi up
This line once again is a silly one - the singer is likely trying to involve the crowd in some way or possibly encouraging Simon to let go of his inhibitions and feel teased or challenged by her.

Former Playboy Bunny and was on the cover of Hustler in 1979 and Oui in 1980. Not only was she a knockout, but she was a good performer, songwriter and a unique singer who was underrated.

Dale + Paisley Park/Prince = Magic! I also recommend the extended 12" of this.

Blue Pie Records

Absolutely magic!! If you like music you can follow us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluepiemusic, regards!

I remember hearing this in 1988 on 106 KMEL very briefly. This record didn’t do well. Prince could make hits on his label, but he didn’t do well signing other artists to his label to land hits. Taja Seville was another flameout.

razberrysky12

Dale and Missing Person's weren't underrated guys!! They had huge hits in the 80's! Destination unknown, walking in L. A., mental hopscotch, etc.!!!!!
