The Shouting Stage - Joan Armatrading

I thought we had it sweet

But your mind’s played

A trick on me

I thought that I’d be with you

All the time

And I’d be fine

Yeah I’d be fine

I’ll swear you have my feelings

Under thought control

I know you’ve taken

Such a hold on me

I’m thinking more and more

Of what we had before

Before we lost it

At the shouting stage

Before the days we’d sit there

Side by side

Without a word

And how that hurt

How could eternal love

Made above

We were so in love

We were joined up at the sides

How could two people

Be as one

As one

Blind from the same light

Be out of love with love

In no time

I thought we had it made

But my mind’s played

This trick on me

I thought that I would see you

All the time

And I’d be fine

Mmm I’d be fine

I swear you have no feelings

Or you’d call me home

I know there’s no one else

There’s no one else

Is there

I’m thinking more and more

Of what we had before

We lost it

At the shouting stage

Before we lost it

At the shouting stage
