And they're back! 2nd single in from newly signed RETRO POP and #electroswing crossover girl-group. Like the perfect summer cocktail, ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES follow up with another Freshly Squeezed shot of jazzy vocal harmony, nu soul and 50's true-life, boy trouble story-telling. Watch the music video here: youtu.be/zp24_vorufI?si=1O_5YowoNsIcwx5g
Taken from their album 'What's a Girl To Do...', the vintage lifestyle icons frequently appear in the broadsheets and are regulars at events like GOODWOOD REVIVAL. Their sound is reminiscent of a cross between classic 60s soul and 50s girl groups given a modern twist. As such they fit perfectly alongside other artists on the label such as THE SPEAKEASY THREE or LITTLE VIOLET.
lyrics
(Never wanna... never wanna say goodbye)
Tick tock goes the clock
Ticking my time away
Sitting and waiting
Come on over baby; make my day
Coz every moment I spend without you
Every second you leave my side
I just can't stop thinking about you I never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Ding dong it's been too long
Since I heard the sound of my doorbell ring
You're driving me crazy
I wanna get on out there with the king of swing
Coz every moment I spend without you
Every second you leave my side
I just can't stop thinking about you
I never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna
Never wanna, never wanna
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
(Da ba de da da ba de da)
I can't get enough I can't get enough I never wanna say goodbye
You make me feel alive
I never wanna say goodbye
If you run away I think that I would cry
Coz every moment I spend without you
Every second you leave my side
I just can't stop thinking about you I never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
Never wanna, never wanna say goodbye
They say, absence makes the heart grow fonder
(It makes the heart want more)
They say; don't get carried away
(I always get carried, carried away)
Who are these people and have they ever been in love?
I just can't quite get enough of
I just can't quite get enough of
I said
I just can't quite get enough of
You!
