Shoulder to Shoulder
Rebecca Ferguson Lyrics
'Cause I feel safe when you're near me
And I can hold you completely
Although you constantly hurt me
And we fight
And we cry
And we tell the same lies about love
And we cling to each other shoulder to shoulder against the world
So I'm gonna drag you down
And I'm gonna shout at you
Whilst you shout at me until we realize that real love is free, free
And I get a kick when you worry
That you are just no good for me
And I feel weak watching you plead
And we fight
And we cry
And we tell the same lies about love
And we cling to each other shoulder to shoulder against this world
So I'm gonna drag you down
Whilst you drag me down
And I'm gonna shout at you
Whilst you shout at me until we realize that real love is free, free
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Let's leave it alone
We can work it out
Find our way
Forget the past
'Cause I love you and you love me
So let's crawl free
So I'm not gonna pull you down
While you pull me down
And I'm not gonna shout at you
Whilst you shout at me because I've realized that real love is free
Free

She came to prominence in 2010 when she became the runner-up of the seventh series of British show "The X Factor" and was mentored by Cheryl Cole. Ferguson made it all the way to the finals where she dueted with her idol Christina Aguilera performing 'Beautiful'. Ferguson placed second behind winner Matt Cardle, and the same week was signed to Syco Music owned by Sony Music Entertainment. As Songfacts reports, her debut single, Nothing's Real But Love, was released in November 2011, a week before Ferguson's debut album, Heaven, was made available.
Ferguson is a qualified legal secretary, having studied at Hugh Baird College, Bootle. She has previously unsuccessfully auditioned for The X Factor and for P. Diddy's Starmaker in New York but in 2010 she got the chance she had been waiting for and got through to the audition process. She sang "A Change Is Gonna Come" during her initial audition. At her bootcamp audition, she sang "Like a Star" to which Cowell said "That is a recording voice!" and Nicole Scherzinger said, "I told you first time I saw her, she is our generation’s songbird." She sang "Fireflies" at the judges houses stage. For the first live show she sang "Teardrops", in the second live show she sang "Feeling Good" and in the third live show she sang "Why Don't You Do Right?". In the fifth live show, Ferguson received a standing ovation from Simon and Cheryl following her performance of "Make You Feel My Love". In the following episode, Ferguson received another standing ovation from Dannii and Cheryl after singing "Candle in the Wind".
Ferguson's second studio album, Freedom, was released in December 2013.
In 2015 Ferguson released her third studio album Lady Sings the Blues covering a number of jazz classics made famous by Billie Holiday.
She released the single "Uncrazy" on 1 December 2017, a dance song, which moves away from Ferguson's usual style of music.
On 8 May 2020, a single entitled "Nothing Left But Family", and featuring Nile Rodgers, was released.

I love this song so much and I love singing along so I thought it would be great to put the lyrics in! :)
Cos I feel safe when your near me
And I can hold you completely
Though you constantly hurt me
And we fight
And we cry
And we tell the same lies about Love
And we cling to each other shoulder to shoulder against the world
So I'm gonna drag you down
whilst you drag me down
And I'm gonna shout at you
whilst you shout at me until we realise that real love is free free
And I get a kick when you worry
That you are just no good for me
And I feel weak watching you plead
And we fight
And we cry
And we tell the same lies about Love
And we cling to each other shoulder to shoulder against this world
So I'm gonna drag you down
Whilst you drag me down
And I'm gonna shout at you
Whilst you shout at me until we realise that real love is free free
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Don't be my downfall
Lets leave it alone
We can work it
Find our way
Forget the past
Cos I love you and you love me
So lets crawl free
So I'm not gonna pull you down
whilst you pull me down
And I'm not gonna shout at you
Whilst you shout at me because I've realised that real love is free
free
free

I'm from America and I absolutely adore everything about her. I love her voice and her personality. I must admit it has been hard for me to find her stuff here so I ordered it from amazon. She is truly an amazing artist and I wish she had more of a spotlight here in America.

X factor has produced numerous good "singers", but Rebecca is more than a singer. She is an ARTIST.
She puts more soul and feeling into each song than all the other X-factor albums combined! There is a heartfelt sincerity about a genuine singer-songwriter that sets them apart, and she exemplifies this. Fabulous lady :-D
