When you gave your love to me, I never gave you chains
If you need to prove you're free
My love for you remains (you know my love stays)
Love is not a prison cell
True love can never die
There's nothing that you shouldn't tell
You never have to lie (to me you shouldn't)

But if you have to keep something inside you
You know I'll never want to steal it away

I respect your territory
Hope there's room in world for me
Is there room in your mind to see
A doorway ? if you say

Blood is pumping through my heart
And flowing through my veins
All it keeps me living for
The love that is sustains (You now I never)
Time stopped when I saw your face
And if it start I'll cry
The universe is in your smile
Is heaven in your eye ?

But if you have to keep something inside you
You know I'll never want to steal it away

I respect your territory
Hope there's room in your world for me
Is there room in your mind to see
A doorway ? if you say
I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (find a place in your world for me)
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway)
A doorway ? if you say

I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (keep a place in your mind for me ?)
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway)
A doorway ? if you say

I know you need your territory (you need your territory.)
Is there room in your world for me (Can't you see what it means to me ?)
Hope there's room in your mind to see (I need a doorway)
A doorway ? One fine day (I want a)

I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (Can't you find a place for me ?)
Is there room in your mind to see
A doorway ? if you say (I want a doorway)

I respect your territory (I need a territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (Can't you find a place for me ?)
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway)
A doorway ? (I want a, I want a, I want a doorway)
If you say

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.
