FAITH NO MORE / PEACHES & HERB – Reunited

“There’s one perfect fit / And sugar, this one is it…” (Peaches & Herb)

Reunited is a hit song for R&B vocal duo Peaches & Herb. As the second single release from their album, 2 Hot (1978), the song was a huge crossover smash, topping both the pop and soul charts. It spent four weeks at number one on both the R&B singles chart and the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1979 and sold over two million copies.

Billboard ranked it as the No. 5 song for 1979. In Canada, Reunited likewise reached number one and was the No. 9 song for the year. The song was written by Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren. It was the sequel to the duo’s 1968 hit (We’ll Be) United, performed with the original Peaches, which was itself a cover of The Intruders’ original 1966 hit.

I was a fool to ever leave your side Me minus you is such a lonely ride The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad I realize I love you ’cause I want you bad, hey, hey

I spent the evening with the radio Regret the moment that I let you go Our quarrel was such a way of learnin’ so much I know now that I love you ’cause I need your touch, hey, hey

Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited ’cause we’re reunited, hey, hey

I sat here starin’ at the same old wall Came back to life just when I got your call I wished I could climb right through the telephone line And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

I can’t go cheatin’, honey, I can’t play I found it very hard to stay away As we reminisce on precious moments like this I’m glad we’re back together ’cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited ’cause we’re reunited, hey, hey

Yeah, yeah, yeah Baby

Lover, lover, this is solid love And you’re exactly what I’m dreamin’ of All through the day And all through the night I’ll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey, hey

Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited ’cause we’re reunited, hey, hey
