[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I've been running like you
I've been running likе you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scarеd

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
Hey, girl, you've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No, we don't know what we're doing here

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
And we're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch, no strings attached
Just free 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.
