Armatrading, Joan - I Like It When We're Together Lyrics






The hours go slowly when you close the door
And you leave me here by myself
How do I fill my days when I feel so sad
That your warmth has gone away

I bite my lip to stop the tears
But the tears come anyway

I like it when we're together
I don't care if I'm selfish
I want you to stay
Everything, every single thing
Everything I do
I do because I love you

I'm not built to be alone you know
I get anxious when I'm on my own
No need to be opposite sides of doors
No need to talk through walls

I hate that hollow stomach feel
When you turn and walk away

I like it when we're together
I don't care if I'm selfish
I want you to stay
Everything, every single thing
Everything I do
I do because I love you

I like it when we're together
I don't care if I'm selfish
I want you to stay
Everything, every single thing
Everything I do
I do because I love you

I know I make you feel the guilt
And my reasons are emotional
But we can deal with all demons
In their various appearance
Let's remind ourselves how far we've come
Let us look at how we really feel
If we tear from each other
Would we ever fall in love again
Ever fall in love again

I like it when we're together
I like it when we're together

I like it when we're together
I don't care if I'm selfish
I want you to stay
Everything, every single thing
Everything I do
I do because I love you

I like it when we're together
I don't care if I'm selfish
I want you to stay
Everything, every single thing
Everything I do
I do because I love you

I like it when we're together
I like it when we're together
I like it when we're together
I like it when we're together

    It's like she's come full circle. Sounds a lot like the earlier Joan Armatrading -- the one who could write poignant songs and rock out too. This is a classy lady with marvelous music. She is in a class of her own. I love this woman and what she does with her music.

  39. C.... S....

    Qué pena que no siempre triunfan los mejores artistas. Joan Armatrading puede estar más valorada o menos pero lo que no se puede negar es que tiene una gran voz, unas canciones maravillosas y muchos álbumes a sus espaldas, tiene más discos incluso que algunos de los grandes de la música!!! :)

  40. G.... 9....

    Who else came here after seeing the video on Sunday Brunch?

  41. A.... L....

    Oh, dear Joan. You've been with me ever since your show at Rockpalast Festival at Grugahalle in the early eighties. ❤️ from Cornettoleo

  42. l.... ....

    Joan! with the smile that lights up the room. You have brilliantly captured the feelings when we are in love! Wonderful song😊✨☀️✨

  43. t.... ....

    For almost 40 years I've had a secret girlfriend remotely ... She's a singer and she can still flick the stiff legs and the blanket under me with her voice and sensitive music. A few years ago I saw her in Odense, DK. A gig I wanted to see, even if I had to chop of my both armes and legs to get there. What a joy! Now she is out with a new album, which will definitely be on my shelf at my place ... Love ya Joan! Regards from DK

  44. A.... K....

    Awesome song!!!

  45. H.... B....

  64. m.... m....

    I like your voice so much

  65. D.... S....

    Joan, that is such a beautiful song. I first discovered you after watching the Wild Geese film in the late 80s and being blown away by your title track. Saw you perform this song on the Graham Norton show and was absolutely blown away (again!!). Please Please Please keep writing and performing :o)

  66. i.... ....

    I don't get it, this is awful. I'm not normally one for leaving negative comments because I always think if you don't like something then just don't listen to it but this is a terrible song, lyrics are terrible and repetitive and she has a very average voice. Saw it on Graham Norton and now it's on Radio 2 like every 5 minutes. This woman has had such a long career and good luck to her but I just don't understand how

    i.... ....

    Your lucky I'm signed into my business account 😂

    i.... ....

    Agreed. I have every record she ever made from Whatever’s For Us on. The last great album was 1995s What’s Inside. Everything after that is just flat. Part of the problem is that she decided to stop working with musicians and producers and creates her songs entirely herself. It lacks the sophistication of her earlier work. Seeing her live was always a treat and her band was made up of the best musicians around. No more sadly. Each of her last 4 albums had a handful of songs that if re-recorded with a band and a good producer would make a good album. On the other hand she seems happy now...so I guess it’s all good.

    i.... ....

    Each to their own as She writes cause she loves it would be the big reason, I think, why everything is done with her inner circle although She has preformed with Clapton, Dylan and others. Lets us not forget her gift and talent as a guitarist...from her Grammy winning album year 2007 "Into the Blues" : Stating that.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quufbYXLCvY

  67. C.... ....

    i love joan armatrading. i hope she never stops making music. her new album is soooo good <3

  68. T.... S....

    Hello Joan, such a beautiful song, thank you.

  69. s.... d....

    Don't like it. Corny and just bad

    s.... d....

    clearly, you have never loved. It's a great song. An important song.

  70. G.... B....

    Great song!

  71. K.... ....

    Heard it from graham norton and now i’m totally obsessed with the song

  72. T.... H....

    reminds me abit of tracy Chapman great song👍

    T.... H....

    haha ur prb ryt first time hereing her she was on G.Norton show

    T.... H....

    I always felt Tracey was copying Joan. Joan has a lot more nuance and depth but Tracey is okay.

    T.... H....

    Michelle Kisliuk Yes that’s the common consensus round my way. Tracey has some great songs but she’s not quite Joans level. Still has an amazing voice after all this time too!

    T.... H....

    how can you not have heard of Joan before? lol

    T.... H....

    yes, Tracey is great, but Joan invented Tracey

  73. G.... L....

    Blessing your Golden Heart Joan.

  74. a.... b....
