[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Well, now you're only fifteen "Wooh!"
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say

[Chorus: audience, "Dave Gahan"]
"Sing it!"
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to "No!"

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
I can see them now "Eh..."
Hanging around "Ah!"
To mess you up "Woooh!"
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one

[Chorus: audience, "Dave Gahan"]
"Sing it!"
It's just a quеstion of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won't bе long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to "No!"

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good "Oh!"
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds

[Outro: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore), *audience*]
"Sing it!"
*It's just a question of time* "Woooh!"
*It's just a question of time*
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time (It should be better)
It's just a question of time (It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (It should be better)
It's just a question of time (It should be better with you) "Alright! Come on, let me see those hands!"
(It should be better)
(It should be better with you)
*It's just a question of time*
"Thank you."

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
