Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't that be fair?
Wouldn't that be fair?
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
(Now that) Okay
[Verse 2]
Baby, baby, I've got this feeling in my soul
If you don't love me would it be fair?
Use my love then give yours to another
Wouldn't that be fair?
[Verse 3]
I can hide all of the misery and pain
I am sure I will never love this way again
Wouldn't that be fair?
Do you think she would care?
[Verse 4]
Wouldn't that be fair?
Wouldn't that be fair?
[Verse 5]
Like the sun when it hits the urban sky at day
Lights and music takes me higher
I would love to dance my life away
Now wouldn't that be fair?
[Verse 6]
Oh, girl
Baby, baby, baby
I want, I want to, want to, want to be fair
Ooh, oh yeah
(Ooh, fairplay)
[Verse 7]
Soul II Soul is the place where you should be
On Sunday nights we'll catch you and Jazzy B
'Cause it's all about expression
'Cause it's all about expression
[Verse 8]
Funky people, express yourself tonight
But thinking loud but that's the same thing alive
'Cause it's all about expression
'Cause it's all about expression
[Verse 9]
Baby, I think you should come down
And try to express yourself, yourself
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I want you, want you, want you to be fair, mmm
Baby (Ooh, fairplay)
[Verse 10]
'Cause, baby, baby, I've got this feeling in my soul
If you don't love me would it be fair?
To use my love then give yours to another
Wouldn't that, wouldn't that, wouldn't that be fair?
[Verse 11]
(Ooh, fairplay)
(Ooh, fairplay)
(Ooh, fairplay)
(Ooh, fairplay)
