The second single from Alpha’s debut album contains samples of “Plus Fort Que Nous” by Francis Lai and “Summertime” by Memphis Slim.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Helen White]
Step outside and feel the warmth much stronger than inside
Crazy path that lead you here creates a place to hide
[Chorus: Helen White]
And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn there's only one and that is you
And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn there's only one and that is you
[Verse 2: Helen White]
Frightened eyes take in the view forgetting how it feels
Look around, believe yourself the world outside is real
[Chorus: Helen White]
And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn there's only one and that is you
And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn there's only one and that is you
[Outro: Helen White]
Gave myself to you no one can deny I'm still waiting 'til you be
So content to feel, can't despise myself I'm still waiting 'til
Leave me break my heart can't control the pain I'm still waiting 'til
Slim was written by Francis Lai & Dorothy Heyward & DuBose Heyward & Ira Gershwin & George Gershwin & Helen White & Corin Dingley & Andy Jenks.
