Stuck On You Lyrics - Lionel Richie
Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
I'm stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I'm going
I've packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away
'Cause this time little darling
I'm coming home to stay
I'm stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
I'm mighty glad you stayed
LIONEL RICHIE BIOGRAPHY
BORN: June 20, 1949, Tuskegee, AL
You can comb the incredible statistics surrounding Lionel Richie's amazing career and still miss something. You can factor in the nearly 60 million albums sold, the five Grammy's, twenty two top ten hits, an Oscar for best song, a golden globe, a treasure chest of People's choice and American Music Awards too numerous to count, and a discography of albums and singles that navigate an emotional landscape that only few writer/performers have ever truly captured-- and still not see what may be the key to this incredible musical legacy.
That the real story behind Lionel Richie is quintessentially an American one.
Raised in Tuskegee, Alabama, he has built a life out of doing precisely what people presumed he could not. "Growing up if you told me to go left, I would go right," laughs Lionel. "If you brought me into a room and said there's one door that I absolutely cannot open, that's the door I'm going to open." And just like the legends he admires, from Sinatra to Santana, Lionel knows what it's like to hear a door close, as well. He's survived the rollercoaster ride of the music business by refusing to let others define him. The Lionel Richie story has always been about making that leap of faith with no net.
Now, as Richie begins his fourth decade of making music, that metaphor is more than appropriate for his soon to be released album Renaissance. Collaborating with renowned producers Walter Afanasieff, Rodney Jerkins (who has produced superstars Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Brandy, among others) and British producer Brian Rawling (Cher, Enrique Iglesias, among others) and Mark Taylor, Lionel has come to realize the new album reflects his indomitable curiosity and his refusal to ever be pigeonholed. With Renaissance, Richie has once again gone for the surprise rather than the sure thing.
"Making a new record is always a mystery. It's an affirmation into the unknown. I'll never forget when I was with the Commodores," he reminisces. "We were straight ahead R&B, and the producers and record company expected that from us, and that was that. In the middle of the disco craze I sat down and wrote a song called 'Three Times A Lady,' and they said I was out of my mind. I'll never forget a radio programmer looked me right in the eye and said 'you are either the craziest man who ever lived, or the bravest, for releasing this song now.' I have never written with a specific sound in mind. When the song comes I just try and be ready."
Lionel has achieved his amazing run by relating simply and honestly to the people who now celebrate his records as quintessential moments in their lives. Renaissance--if anything--is dedicated to the notion that while it is a mystery as to where such a gift comes from, there's always a thankfulness for its arrival.
"Marvin Gaye once told me 'you can find out where it all comes from if you want, but don't ever go looking for it.' I've never forgotten that. People have asked me my whole career 'where do the songs originate?' There is no formula. But I readily admit there is nothing quite has humbling as a microphone hanging in the middle of a room, while you are sitting there in front of a blank piece of paper trying to get that next song done."
Take heart, however, that with Renaissance, Lionel was able to accomplish his mission and more. "Working with Rodney and his people was a wonderful experience. It reminded me of the early days of the Commodores, the way they are having fun, knowing that whatever they're involved with can do no wrong. There was a spirit and an attitude there that I could relate with." That spirit soars on tracks such as "Tonight." For even more of a change of pace, Lionel flew to London to work with Rawling and Taylor.
These wonderful pictures make dreams into the distance.
The beautiful melodies sway in the wind. A touch of nostalgia is there. The heart is heavy. But the hope is heat.
Where yearning finds its anchor, will accompany the happiness of love.
I am mighty glad that you are.
Thank you for this beautiful touching video.
