You Could Meet Somebody (Unplugged) - UB40 featuring Ali, Astro & Mickey

Written by：James Brown/Ali Campbell/Robin Campbell/Earl Falconer/Norman Lamont Hassan/Brian Travers/Michael Virtue/Terence Wilson

You could meet somebody

You never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Life in the shadows ain't no fun

It's easy getting up there

Never think of coming down

Not hard to say I want you

When you're floating on a cloud

But you know that lonely feeling

When nothing's going right

'Cause it's only the beginning

Of a cold and sleepless night

You could meet somebody

You never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Life in the shadows ain't no fun

You could meet somebody you never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

It's harder getting up there

And it's painful coming down

And now you can't see clearly

Beneath the thunder cloud

And the loneliness gets longer

When nothing's going right

And things ain't getting any better

With another sleepless night

You could meet somebody

You never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run

You could meet somebody you never know

From brief encounters habits grow

Into giant oaks that hide the sun

Your only chance is to turn and run
