A Groovy Kind Of Love

A Groovy Kind of Love is a pop song written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager for the Screen Gems music publishing company. Phil Collins recorded a new version of "A Groovy Kind of Love" in 1988. He had originally suggested the song as a good one for collaborator Stephen Bishop to record, with Collins producing, but decided to record it himself when he took a starring role in the film Buster, which had a 1960s setting. The song was originally released on Buster: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, and later appeared on several Phil Collins compilation albums. This version went the Mindbenders release one better, hitting #1 in both the U.S. and UK charts, and it remains the only Collins single to top the charts in both countries. It also reached #1 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. The song earned Collins a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1989; he lost to Bobby McFerrin's song "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

Phil Collins Lyrics "A Groovy Kind Of Love" [Verse 1] When i'm feeling blue, all i have to do Is take a look at you, then i'm not so blue When you're close to me, i can feel your heart beat I can hear you breathing near my ear [Chorus] Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love [Verse 2] Anytime you want to you can turn me onto Anything you want to, anytime at all When i kiss your lips, ooh i start to shiver Can't control the quivering inside [Chorus] [Verse 3] When i'm feeling blue, all i have to do Is take a look at you, then i'm not so blue When i'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter My whole world could shatter, i don't care [Outro] Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love We got a groovy kind of love We got a groovy kind of love, oh We got a groovy kind of love Writer(s): Bruce Roberts, Carol Bayer Sager, James Ingram
