[Intro: Dave Gahan]
Words like violence

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
Words like violence

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move, you just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
There'll be times when my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivablе
I give in to sin
Because you havе to make this life livable

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?

[Interlude]

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
Feeling unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer
Take second best, put me to the test
Things on your chest you need to confess (Need to confess)
I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver
[Refrain: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Your own personal Jesus (Your own) (Jesus)
Someone to hear your prayers (Your prayers)
Someone who cares (Who cares)
Your own personal Jesus (Your own)
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there (Who's there)

[Bridge: Daniel Miller]
The Lord, Jesus Christ, himself

[Verse 5: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

[Chorus 4: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of
[Interlude]

[Verse 6: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Vince Clarke]
It's getting hotter, it's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

[Interlude]

[Verse 7: Dave Gahan & Alan Wilder]
There's more
There's more
There's more
There's more besides joyrides
The little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise, and sometimes lie

[Chorus 5: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Alan Wilder]
Get the balance right
Get the balance right

[Verse 8: Dave Gahan]
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend

[Chorus 6: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
Enjoy the silence
