Rufus - Any Love Lyrics






You go out every night as a single
But you don't really know what to do
You see someone that you'd like to mingle
And imagine that she is waiting for you

[Chorus:]
Any love that you feel
Is real
Any time that you use love
You lose love

There is no certain crowd that you run with

But your passions they never run thin
You say 'hi', they say 'hi' and it's done with
Still you don't really love from deep within

[Chorus]

Batted eyes and bitter tears
Price you pay for all the years
Of holding back what's deep inside
And living with a hell of a lot of lies

[Chorus]

  41. L.... B....

    Chaka at her best!!!! Memories of the Paradise Garage!!

    L.... B....

    Annnd Better Days... !!!

    L.... B....

    Skanking tune

  42. M.... W....

    The jam!!

  43. M.... W....

    27 dumb asses don't now any love

  44. g.... d....

    Genius composition and vocal supremacy

  45. c.... g....

    I can't get enough of this song

  46. K.... A....

    so much wonderful music bangin hard in 1979 . fort hood texas. just before i was to go to germany.this album came . i really didnot want to leave fort hood. but i had to go.

  47. A.... C....

    I don't know why but everytime i hear this song i am reminded of Brainstorm song called "Loving Is My Game" sung by Ms. Belita Woods.

    A.... C....

    A CHOSEN VESSEL like that song!

    A.... C....

    A CHOSEN VESSEL I like that song

    A.... C....

    I totally agree

  48. C.... K....

    MONSTER JAM WITH QUINCY PRODUCING AND CHAKA SINGING! THE LATE FRANKIE CROCKER CALLED CHAKA-"HIPS, LIPS AND HAIR TO SPARE!!!

  49. J.... T....

    Everytime I play my system, this is one of the tunes sitting by to pop in.

  50. p.... ....

    This has that positive anthem effect. I miss the organic momentum building bridges and then the crescendo when the dance floor explodes. Song of that era were designed with this and didn't need a deejay to manufacture that effect. Wow Chaka is still my number one screamin diva. No other voice like hers.

  51. s.... b....

    Oh yeah!!!

  52. H.... ....

    I had this album

  53. e.... a....

    OH, BY THE WAY......THESE ARE VOCAL'S

    e.... a....

    eric anderson real vocals

  54. e.... a....

    all you youngun's this is MUSIC

  55. p.... ....

    Alls I can say Chaka does it for me from sun up to sun down!
    This cut really moves me...the melody and chorus is groovin. The band Rufus was tight and that Tony Maiden can stand blow next to Miss Chaka and take on that screamin diva so he's alright with me.

  56. B.... S....

    Chaka is life.

  57. G.... H....

    i remember when I bought this album
    ....oh Chaka

  58. T.... B....

    Throwback Tuesday!

  79. o.... h....

    o.... h....

    Oki was born in the 80s

    o.... h....

    Yep you're right. I had all those albums plus The Whispers self titled album & Shalamar-"Big Fun" album, Prince self titled album, Funkeldelic-"Uncle Jam Wants You", Rick James-"Fire It Up", & Natalie Cole and Peabo Bryson duet album-"We;re The Best Of Friends". An awesome & memorable December 1979 when R&B was really kicking.

  80. G.... G....

    I totally enjoy Chaka Khan's music , specially this hit

  81. T.... P....

    This clearly a Quincy Jones production!

    T.... P....

    The recording spring and summer 1979 at westlake studio in l.a and bruce swedien engenier

    T.... P....

    Signature Q

    T.... P....

    @ordonize holmes that's right 😎

  82. K.... L....

    class song will stand the test of time gets me every time i here it great days

  83. H.... T....

    K109 The Studio

  84. M.... (....

    Totally awesome. It has Quincy Jones written all over it. Was Rod Temperton & Louis Jonson involved in this particular song by any chance? I know they were pivotal in many of Jones' productions of this era.

    M.... (....

    @Sky Pilot Hi Sky :)

    M.... (....

    How you doing and good to hear from you. How are things going for you, hope you're having a great summer, let's talk so more...Peace and Love...

    M.... (....

    @Sky Pilot Morning. I'm great thanks, you ok? Yes, were finally getting summer here in the UK - about time really and I hope it holds up!..  :)) 

    M.... (....

    MsCharlieBrown78 (Charlie Rae) yes they are playing on it.

    M.... (....

    This song was written by David "Hawk wolinski" keyboards for Rufus, the driving force behind most of their songs. He also wrote "ain't nobody", "Do you love what you feel" And many more. He's a bad White !!!!!

  85. n.... ....

    OMFG I forgot all about this one, and I used to LIVE for it. I am getting chills all over, remembering how GLORIOUS this sounded at 84 KIng. Sweet Jesus, did we ever have FUN. These kids today, well, they just don't make songs like this, and haven't for a long time. Chaka, you were THE VOICE.

    n.... ....

    IKR!! I almost forgot about this one, too! This IS M U S I C!!

  86. S.... ....

    hundreds of plays

  87. A.... S....

    Min favorit

  88. g.... d....

  89. g.... d....

    This has to be one of the greatest feats in music history.

  90. A.... H....

    A Great Classic........Chaka Khan & Rufus were the real deal, back in the days!

  91. M.... A....

    Get up from your chair and dance.!!!

    Incomparable vocals by Ms. CK unmatched. To have an instrument that is so unique in music is unimaginable, but Chaka does... the voice of many centuries to come.

    g.... d....
