It was in 1978 that the group enjoyed their first commercial success with "Rama Lama Ding Dong", covered from The Edsels original hit, which reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart. More chart success quickly followed with another single, "Imagination", which reached number 39 in 1979. But after this, success was more difficult to find, and Sharpe was to find greater success on the touring circuit than in the best-sellers charts.
It was not until 1982 that Sharpe would find himself with another major hit. "Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out)" proved to be a success with music fans and reached the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Although he never had another hit as big again, Sharpe retained a fan following and his music remained widely available. The group's last chart single was "If You Wanna Be Happy", which reached UK chart position 46 in 1983.
Never Be Anyone Else But You
Rocky Sharpe & The Replays Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out to be my very own
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together, I wonder if you've missed me
'Cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
