Earth mother to Stevie Nick’s white winged dove, Christine McVie (née Christine Perfect) wrote some of Fleetwood Mac’s most beautiful songs and biggest hits including “Say You Love Me”, “Songbird”, “Don’t Stop”, “Oh Daddy”, “”Think About Me” “Hold Me”, “Little Lies”, and “Everywhere”.
You can take me to paradise, And then again you can be as cold ice. I'm over my head, But it sure feels niceOver My Head (FLEETWOOD MAC 1975)
Sleep easy by my side
Warm Ways (FLEETWOOD MAC 1975)
Into gentle slumber you can hide
I, I am waiting for the sun to come up
I can’t sleep, with your warm ways
And when I get a little hungry
Sugar Daddy (FLEETWOOD MAC 1975)
He could give me all I could eat
And if I needed whisky
He could serve it to me neat
‘Cause when the loving starts and the lights go down,
Say You Love Me (FLEETWOOD MAC 1975)
And there’s not another living soul around,
You woo me until the sun comes up,
And you say that you love me.
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t Stop (Rumours 1977)
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone; yesterday’s gone
Why are you right when I’m so wrong
Oh Daddy (Rumours 1977)
I’m so weak but you’re so strong
Everything you do is just alright
And I can’t walk away from you
Baby, if I tried
And the songbirds are singing,
Songbird (Rumours 1977)
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
I didn’t mean to love you
Didn’t think it would work outI don’t hold you down
Think About Me (TUSK 1979)
Maybe that’s why you’re around
But if I’m the one you love
Think about me
Oh I said
Over and Over (TUSK 1979)
Could it be me?
Could it really, really be?
Over and over (ooh)
Could it really, really be?
I don’t want no damage
But how am I gonna manage with you
You hold the percentage
But I’m the fool payin’ the duesI’m just around the corner
Hold Me (MIRAGE 1982)
If you got a minute to spare
I’ll be waitin’ for ya’
If you ever want to be there
You're the only one I ever felt Could be special to me You look at me and I just melt I'm scared of feeling that way I can't fight it anymore Since you've been around We've got love in storeLove in Store (MIRAGE 1982)
Something’s happening
Everywhere (TANGO IN THE NIGHT 1987)
Happening to me
My friends say I’m acting peculiarly
Come on, baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my hear
But I couldn’t find a way
So I’ll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me,
Tell me,
Tell me liesTell me lies
Little Lies (TANGO IN THE NIGHT 1987)
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh no, no you can’t disguise
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
All songs written by Christine McVie.
“Hold Me” cowritten with Robbie Patton
“Little Lies” cowritten with Eddy Quintela Mendonca
