I'll miss your naked body
I'll miss your mind
Human beings learn to miss
The things they leave behind
Another romance broken
It's time to go
Too late to contradict
What we already know
Closed my eyes
To the truth
And the lies
Never again
Won't ask why
Don't reply
I'll just say
Never again

Time tells
Your heart compels
Never again
Never take a chance
Again
Time tells
Your heart compels
Never again
Never break a heart again

Never again never again
But until then
Never again never again
Never again
Never again never again
Never again never again

I know I couldn't keep you
I know the score
I know I'm surplus
To the life you're looking for
'Though nothing lasts forever
Still hope remains
We never go back to
The way we were before
From now on
To the end
Won't pretend
Say it again
Won't commit
Won't submit
'Til I know
Never again

Woman
Runaway woman
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman

Woman
Runaway woman
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman

Never again
Never break a heart again

Time tells
Woman
Your heart compels
Runaway woman
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman
Never take a chance
Again
Time tells
Woman
Your heart compels
Runaway woman
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman
Never break a heart again

Never again never again
But until then
Never again never again
Never again
Never again
Never again never again
Never again never again

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.
