The Human League

You know you're making me nervous
I don't know if the world deserves us
You're doing things I wouldn't mention
You have a hunger for attention
You know you're making me frantic
Is this supposed to be romantic?
You're like the woman out of Species
I think I'm gonna go to pieces

You never do right
For doing wrong
You'd better get back where you belong
You never do right
You're doing wrong
Then running to me

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly
Saty for life or leave me sadly
Do you have to?

Youre really making me anxious
You know that everybody blanks us
You're like a cocktail set Atilla
A kind of holycon geurilla
You know I'm heading for a crackup
You're getting everybody's back up
I'm getting ready for a freakout
What makes you think you're right to speakout?

You never back down you'd rather fight
You're ready for combat day or night
You never back down
You start the fight
The run behind me

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Stay for life or leave me sadly
Please don't always love me madly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Be my friend reject me gladly
Do you have to?

I feel I'm getting rather tense
At the turn of these events
I want to run away and hide
But you keep dragging me inside
I'm tethered to a trainee hellcat
I'm feeling jealous of the doormat
I'm nearly fainting with the tension
One day we'll end up in detention

You never do right
Tou're doing wrong
You'd better get back where you belong
You never do right
You're always wrong
Then running to me

Love me well or love be badly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Stay for life or leave me sadly
Please don't always love me madly

Love me well or love me badly
Do you have to love me madly?
Be my friend reject me gladly
Only don't you love me madly

Love...me madly

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.
