[Intro: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot like life
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a new game we like to play, you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
It's a lot like life, this play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
[Refrain: Dave Gahan (& Martin L. Gore)]
It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing (It's a lot like life)
If you despise that throwaway feeling (It's a lot like life)
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life, they're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
(Come on)
(Come on)
[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
(Master and servant)
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot like life
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot (Master and servant)
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot like life
[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
[Chorus: Dave Gahan (& Martin L. Gore)]
Let's play master and servant (Come on)
Come on, master and servant (Come on)
Let's play master and servant (Come on)
Come on, master and servant (Come on)
Let's play master and servant (Come on) (It's a lot, it's a lot)
Come on, master and servant (Come on) (It's a lot, it's a lot)
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot like life
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a new game we like to play, you see

It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot, it's a lot
It's a lot (Master and servant)
