Remarks:
This song of Sade’s came out in late 1992 and went to #14 in Britain in 1993. In the States it went to #9 on the R&B charts and #28 on the pop charts.
It is one of her best songs and easily her best video: Sade as mermaid, Sade running through the streets of Los Angeles in a wedding dress throwing rice. How can you beat that? The video is based on the Little Mermaid story – where the mermaid gives up her voice for love. The video was shot in September or October 1992. It was directed by Sophie Muller, a friend of Sade’s from Saint Martins School of Art. Muller also directed “Babyfather” (2010), another great Sade video and song.
– Abagond, 2013.

Lyrics:
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won’t last
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give babyI gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my loveI keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I babyThis is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won’t last
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I’m falling
I’m falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying for you I’m falling
I’m falling

She’s BARELY aged. Notice how her style still Stands up… this was 1984 (still love the red bolero jacket with blue jeans)

She is fantastic in concert. She is still beautiful. I love all of her songs. I love Feel No Pain. That is a beautiful song. It describes what many in this country are going through economically and socially.
