MORALE:

Don't talk
Close the door
You've been here before

Your shape dim
I'm an old man now
The air's thin
The walls very damp now
And if I don't go
I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner

I don't forget
The light growing weak now
Experience is useless
Unless you can learn
And I've never met anyone
Who used their knowledge
To avoid those mistakes made again and again

And if I don't go
I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner

YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING:

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woah-woah-woah

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticise little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cos, baby, something beautiful's dying

You've lost that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woah-woah-woah

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Bring back that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Woah-woah-woah

Baby (baby), Baby (baby)
I beg you please (woooo)
Please (woooo)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love now (I need your love now)
Now it bring it on back (bring it on back)
Bring it on back now (bring it on back now)

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.
