[Intro: Dave Gahan]
"Yes"
"Alright. Come on!"
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world
Painful to me, pierce right through me
Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
"Oh, yeah!"
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does the pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore (audience), "Dave Gahan"]
(All I ever wanted)
(All I ever needed) is here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm "Come on!"
"That's right!"
[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Alright, now. Yeah! Come on!"
"Alright, I want you to sing for me."
"Yeah!"
"Come on!"
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore (audience), "Dave Gahan"]
(All I ever wanted)
(All I ever needed) is here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm "Come on, now"
(All I ever wanted) "Let's hear you"
(All I ever needed) is here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm "Oh, yeah. That's right!"
[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
Enjoy the silence
"Oh, yeah!"
"Let's go."
"Well, let's see you! Come on!"
"Ahaha. Alright. Everybody now! Come on!"
Move it!
"Come on!"
"Eh!"
"Oh, yeah. Take it, baby"
"Ehehe! Alright. Come on!"
"Right on!"
"Oh, yeah. Come on, now. That's right"
"Alright!"
"Yes"
"Alright. Come on!"
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
