[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There'll be times when my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?
[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Will you take the pain I will give to you
Again and again and will you return it?
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There'll be days when I'll stray
I may appear to be constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn when you've got something to teach
Oh, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again: pain
Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again: pain
Pain, will you return it?
I'll say it again: pain
Pain, will you return it?
I won't say it again
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?
[Outro: Dave Gahan]
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me?
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
There'll be times when my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove, that's how my love goes
Strangelove, will you give it to me?
[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Will you take the pain I will give to you
Again and again and will you return it?
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There'll be days when I'll stray

Oh, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me?
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
