Depeche Mode

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Melissa Stokes

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way, the way of the innocent
And when I say innocent, I should say naive

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
So lie to me, but do it with sincerity
Makе me listen, just for a minute
Makе me think there's some truth in it

[Chorus: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore)]
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me (Lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (Lie to me)
Tell me you love me (Love me)
Say I'm the only one

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily what we need
Truth is a word that's lost its meaning
The truth has become merely half-truth

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
So lie to me, like they do it in the factory
Make me think that at the end of the day
Some great reward will be coming my way

[Chorus: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore)]
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me (Lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (Lie to me)
Tell me you love me (Love me)
Say I'm the only one (Only one)
Come on and lay with me (Lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (Lie to me)
Tell me you love me (Love me)
Say I'm the only one (Only one)
Come on and lay with me (Lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (Lie to me)
Tell me you love me (Love me)
Say I'm the only one (Ooooh)
"Come on!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Oh yeah!"

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.
