Red Red Wine
UB40 - The Very Best Of UB40 1980-2000 Lyrics

Red, red wine goes to my head
Drinking red wine is affecting my thoughts and judgement

Makes me forget that I still need her so
Drinking red wine makes me forget about my ex-girlfriend, but I still miss her deeply

Red, red wine, it's up to you
The impact of drinking red wine is solely dependent on the alcoholic beverage itself

All I can do I've done
I have tried everything I can to forget about my ex-girlfriend after drinking red wine, but to no avail

Memories won't go, memories won't go
No matter how hard I try, I am unable to forget the memories I shared with my ex-girlfriend

I'd have sworn that with time
I thought that as time passed, I would be able to forget about my ex-girlfriend

Thoughts of you leave my head
I believed that as time passed, the thoughts of my ex-girlfriend would gradually disappear from my mind

I was wrong, now I find
I was mistaken in my belief that time would heal my broken heart

Just one thing makes me forget
Drinking red wine is the only thing that allows me to momentarily forget about my ex-girlfriend

Red, red wine, stay close to me
I want to keep drinking red wine to help me forget about my ex-girlfriend

Don't let me be alone
I fear that if I am left alone, I will only think about my ex-girlfriend and feel sad

It's tearing apart my blue heart
The pain of missing my ex-girlfriend is causing me great emotional distress

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Drinking red wine brings me happiness and makes me feel good

You keep me rockin' all of the time
Drinking red wine is fun and keeps me dancing and singing

You really know how fi love
Red wine is a great lover and helps me cope with my emotions

Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
Drinking red wine feels like a gift from the heavens, it makes me feel in high spirits

I loved you right from the start
I have always enjoyed drinking red wind and the happiness it brings me
