Wilde grew up as part of a family group, La Voyage, playing in local clubs. In the 1970s, the group became Tight Connection, and was later known as Simplicious. Broomfield also recorded an album with Curtom Records in 1979 as a member of Today, Tomorrow, Forever. He changed his name after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper for a nightclub which he had gone to the night before. He had sex with a hooker and then decided to call it the Wilde Flowers of sex.
In 1984 he joined Philly World Records, and wrote and recorded his first hit, "Gotta Get You Home Tonight", which rose to #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and also made #18 on the UK Singles Chart. After a couple of less successful follow-ups, he hit #1 again a year later with "Don't Say No Tonight". He also had some lesser hits, including "Diana" (1986), but his career stalled when his record label collapsed.
In 1987 he recorded a duet with Sheena Easton, "What If We Fall in Love", which appeared on Easton's album, No Sound But a Heart.
Subsequent releases on the MCA label, solo and with the group Cabo Frio, were less successful. He later ran the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida. Wilde continued his career, expanding into becoming a professional songwriter. He has written hits such as "I'll Never Break Your Heart" for the Backstreet Boys and "I Wish" for Victoria Beckham. He also continues to record his own songs. Visit both http://www.celerityrecords.com/eugene.html and http://www.myspace.com/eugenewildeofficialpage his official websites.
Lost And Lonely
Eugene Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl...
I made a list..
I'm trying to figure out..
If it ever get's better than this.
You whisper love secrets..in my ear...
Remember..when i called you on the phone
I heard someone in the background
You said you were alone
My trust in you....is almost gone..
Hook:
You came and stole my heart
And left me lonley.
Left me looking for you..
Knowing that my heart
Was for you only..
Why? did you go and break my heart...
Chorus:
I don't wanna be..
Lost and Lonely..
I don't wanna be lost and alone..oh no..
Oh I don't wanna be
Lost and Lonely...oh no
Girl ,I don't wanna be Lost and Lonely...
Verse II
Listen...
You know that things are moving to fast..
My Head, My Heart, My Feelings are..
Heading for crash..
It's about time...
You made up you mind....
Girl, I think it's about time..that you give it up..
Take my hand and we can live it up..
Girl...Stop wasting precious time..
It would be a crime...
If only you could see...
Vamp;
You came into my heart
And made me happy
Made me feel...Brand New
Then you stole my heart and left me Lonley
Why, did go and Break my Heart ?
Chorus:
I don't wanna be
Lost and Lonely..
Our House is not a home
It's not the same
Since you've be Gone..no
I don't wanna be..
Lost and Lonely.....
I don't wann be
Lost and Lonely...oh......
Repeat Hook:
Repeat Vamp:
Ad-lib till fade
