I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
 
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
 
I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know, somebody to heal
Somebody to have just to know how it feels
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda like the way you help me escape
 
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
 
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound till I come back around
 
For now, the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
But now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE

ROXETTE
SONGWRITERS:  פורר טל & GESSLE,PER HAKAN
COUNTRY: SWEDEN
ALBUM: IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE
LABEL: EMI
GENRE: POP
YEAR: 1987
 
        Roxette was a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson(vocals and keyboards) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar). Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act in the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough second album Look Sharp! Their third album Joyride, released in 1991, became just as successful as its predecessor. Roxette went on to achieve nineteen UK Top 40 hits, and several US Hot 100 hits, including four US number-ones with "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", featured on the soundtrack of Pretty Woman, and "Joyride". Their other hits include "Dressed for Success", "Dangerous", and "Fading Like a Flower".
   Before coming together to form the duo, Fredriksson and Gessle were already established artists in Sweden, she having released a number of solo albums and he being the lead singer and songwriter of Gyllene Tider, a band that had three Nº 1 albums. On the advice of the managing director of their record label, the two came together to record "Neverending Love", which became a hit single in Sweden.
        After the release of Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!, a greatest hits record, the duo took a hiatus before returning with the albums Have a Nice Day(1999) and Room Service(2001). They continued to chart in other territories, mainly in Europe, Australia and Latin America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002, the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Gessle went on to release solo albums and reunited with Gyllene Tider before Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in eight years, in 2009, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. In 2011, they released Charm School, their first studio album in ten years, which was followed by Travelling in 2012. Their final studio album, Good Karma, was released in 2016. Marie Fredriksson died on 9 December 2019, at the age of 61, following a long battle with a brain tumour.
        Their songs "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" continue to receive wide radio airplay, with both singles receiving awards from BMI in 2014 for achieving five million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 75 million records worldwide, with over 10 million in certified units from Germany, the US and the UK, achieving gold and platinum certifications for Joyride and Look Sharp! in all three regions. They are Sweden's second-best-selling music act after ABBA.
          It Must Have Been Love", originally "It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)", is a song written by Per Gessle and performed by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. The power ballad became the duo's third number one hit in the United States, and is one of their best selling releases, being certified gold or platinum in a number of countries.
       Four different versions of the song have been officially released. The original song was released in 1987, which was followed by the most successful incarnation, a slightly edited version, omitting the Christmas references, created for the soundtrack to the 1990 film Pretty Woman. During the "Join the Joyride! World Tour" in 1991, the band recorded a country music version in Los Angeles, included on their 1992 album Tourism. A Spanish-language version of the Pretty Woman recording was released on their 1996 compilation Baladas en Español. Finally, an orchestral live performance from the band's 2009 concert at Night of the Proms was included on their 2012 studio album, Travelling.
Must have been love
But it's over now
 
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, this air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
 
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away
 
It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out
 
Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away
 
It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows
 
It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out
 
Yeah, it must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows
 
but it's over now
No, no, no
(It must have been love)
(But it's over now) but it's over now
No, no, no.

The summer sun went down on our love long ago
But in my heart I feel the same old after glow
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful we let it slip away
 
We were all too young to understand to ever know
That lovers drift apart and that's the way love goes
A love so beautiful a love so free
 
A love so beautiful a love for you and me
And when I think of you I fall in love again
A love so beautiful in everyway
A love so beautiful we let it slip away
 
And when I think of you
I fall in love again
 
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away
 
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away.

He intentado casi todo para convencerte
Mientras el mundo se derrumba, todo aquí a mis pies
Mientras aprendo de esta soledad que desconozco
Me vuelvo a preguntar, quizás sí sobreviviré
 
Porque sin ti, me queda la conciencia helada y vacía
Porque sin ti, me he dado cuenta, amor, que no renaceré
Porque yo he ido más allá del límite de la desolación
Mi cuerpo, mi mente y mi alma ya no tienen conexión
Y yo te juro que
 
Lo dejaría todo porque te quedaras
Mi credo, mi pasado, mi religión
Después de todo, estás rompiendo nuestros lazos
Y dejas en pedazos a este corazón
 
Mi piel, también la dejaría
Mi nombre, mi fuerza, hasta mi propia vida
¿Y qué más da perder?
Si te llevas del todo mi fe
¡Qué no dejaría!
 
Duelen más tus cosas buenas cuando estás ausente
Yo sé que es demasiado tarde para remediar
No me queda bien valerme de diez mil excusas
Cuando definitivamente, sé que ahora te vas
 
Aunque te vuelvo a repetir que estoy muriendo día a día
Aunque también estés muriendo, tú no me perdonarás
Aunque sin ti haya llegado al límite de la desolación
Mi cuerpo, mi mente y mi alma ya no tienen conexión
Sigo muriéndome
 
Lo dejaría todo porque te quedaras
Mi credo, mi pasado, mi religión
Después de todo, estás rompiendo nuestros lazos
Y dejas en pedazos este corazón
 
Mi piel, también la dejaría
Mi nombre, mi fuerza, hasta mi propia vida
¿Y qué más da perder?
Si te llevas del todo mi fe
 
Lo dejaría todo porque te quedaras
Mi credo, mi pasado, mi religión
Después de todo, estás rompiendo nuestros lazos
Y dejas en pedazos este corazón
 
Mi piel, también la dejaría
Mi nombre, mi fuerza, hasta mi propia vida
¿Y qué más da perder?
Si te llevas del todo mi fe.
