[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts and the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Consequently, I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head, all the words that were said
All the blues and the reds get to me

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
All of these absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts and the certainties
That lay in store for us

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
There was a time
When all on my mind was love (love, love, love)
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself
