Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore]
Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest?
The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some misery

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
If you want my love
If you want my love

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore]
Man will survive
The harshest conditions
And stay alive
Through difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me
Walk the line for me

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
If you want my love
If you want my love

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
Idle talk and hollow promises
Cheating Judases and doubting Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it

[Verse 3: Martin L. Gore]
You can fulfill
Your wildest ambitions
And I'm sure you will
Lose your inhibitions
So open yourself for me
Risk your health for me

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)
(If you want my love)

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.
