[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me
That cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
When you're born a lover
Born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to underline
Your beauty
And I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried
So easily

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Whеn you're born a lover
You're born to suffеr
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers

[Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers

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.
