[Intro: Dave Gahan]
Come on!
[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: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We call it master and servant
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: 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 (It's a lot like life)
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
[Chorus: Dave Gahan, (Marin 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)
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)

Come on, master and servant (Come on)
[Coda: Dave Gahan]
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
