Lyrics

Red red wine

Goes to my head

Makes me forget that I…

Still need her so

Red red wine

It’s up to you

All I can do, I’ve done

Memories won’t go

Memories won’t go

I’d have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget

Red red wine

Stay close to me

Don’t let me be alone

It’s tearing apart

My blue heart

I’d have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget

Red red wine

Stay close to me

Don’t let me be alone

It’s tearing apart

My blue, blue heart

Red red wine you make me feel so fine

You keep me rocking all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so grand

I feel a million dollars when you’re just in my hand

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad

Any time I see you go, it makes me feel bad

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine

Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline

Red red wine, you give me whole heap of zing

Whole heap of zing, you make me do my own thing

Red red wine, you give enough of love

You’re kind of loving like a blessing from above

Red red wine, I loved you right from the start

Right from the start, with all of my heart

Red red wine in an eighties style

Red red wine in a modern beat style

Yeah

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind

Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine

You make me feel fine all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine

Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet deep line

The line broke, the monkey get chocked

Bunjah, ganjapani, little rubber boat

Red red wine, I’m gonna hold on to you

Hold on to you cause I know you love truth

Red red wine, I’m gonna love you ’till I die

Love you ’till I die and that’s no lie

Red red wine, can’t get you off my mind

Wherever you may be, I’ll surely find

I’ll surely find

Make no fuss, just stick with us

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind

Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine

You make me feel fine all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine

Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline

The line broke, the monkey get chocked

Bunjah, ganjapani, little rubber boat

Red red wine, you give me not awful love

You’re kind of loving like blessing from above

Red red wine, I loved you right from the start

Right from the start, with all of my heart

Red red wine, you give me whole heap of zing

Whole heap of zing, you make me do my own thing
