I saw my baby. I said I let you down. I didn't mean to. I was
Only messing 'round. You know that men are dreamers
And it's all over now. It's all over now. It's all over now. All
Over now. It's all over

Now we're together. Forget about the pain. I'm yours
Forever. Just take me home again. But she said men are
Dreamers. And it's all over now. How can you say. Forget
Yesterday? All men are dreamers

Now we're together. Forget about the pain. I'm yours
Forever. Just take me home again. But I say men are
Dreamers. And it's all over now

How can you say (can I say?) Forget yesterday? (think
About the future). All men are dreamers (men are
Dreamers). Smile through the pain? (through the pain). It's
Only a game? (a silly game). All men are dreamers (men are
Dreamers)

I never meant to hurt you. Okay now we're together (can I
Say?). Don't mean to hurt you, baby. It's okay we're together
(think about the future). I never meant to hurt you (now
We're together). Okay now we're together. Don't mean to
Hurt you, baby (give me a future, come on, give me a
Future). It's okay we're together

How can you say (can I say?) Forget yesterday? (give
Me a future). All men are dreamers (men are dreamers)
Smile through the pain? (through the pain). It's only a
Game? (give me a future). All men are dreamers (men are
Dreamers)

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.
