Spandau Ballet
Lyricist: Gary Kemp Composer: Gary Kemp
Laying in the afterglow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving...
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving...
In this world
All that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I only want to make things last
So how could this have gone so fast?
And now you're leaving...
How many times must I learn?
It's only when you've gone that I burn
And now you're leaving...
In the end
All that is left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind
So leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
Laying in the afterglow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving...
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving...
In this world
All that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
