Ni negros ni americanos. Escoceses de pura cepa, los componentes de esta mítica banda demostraron que no era necesario ni lo uno ni lo otro para hacer un funky de calidad extraordinaria.
Versionando el If I Ever Lose This Heaven de Quincy Jones -tema perteneciente al ábum Cut the Cake- los The Average White Band probaron su maestría en el manejo de las baladas, con Stuart confirmándose como favorito de los fans de la banda.
If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure collide
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, 'cause baby you still got me
After takin' me way up there
Way up there
Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, oh baby get crossed
You're so moody, you get to me
And I can't turn you off
You're fascinating, much more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, hey baby I'm re-writing
This book of love called "You"
Yes it's you
Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven...
