We talked and talked and talked and talked for hours
An ocean or two couldn't keep me away from you
We spoke about the time and place of our first meeting
Without a word I know you knew that I cared about you

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Been one too many lonely nights without you
On one too many trains and boats and planes
I spent a thousand nights alone before I met you
And I'll spend many more until we meet again

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

The Human League

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
