[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
How ever hard they tried to hold you back
So you were stronger
If there's a slightest ray of hope
Or glimmer in your eye

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Take another lover
But I will get you in the end
There will be no other lover (Take another lover)
I will say I love you
Love me madly, truly, deeply (I love you, take another lover)
Love me madly, truly, deeply
Take another lover
But I will get you in the end
There will be no other lover (Take another lover)
I will say I love you

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Every night you live to satisfy
Your pangs of hunger
But as if your name were written out
In lines across the sky

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Take another lover
But I will get you in the end
There will be no other lover (Take another lover)
I will say I love you
Love me madly, truly, deeply (I love you, take another lover)
Love me madly, truly, deeply
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Take another lover
But I will get you in the end
There will be no other lover (Take another lover)
I will say

[Interlude: Andy Bell]
How ever hard they tried to hold you back
So you were stronger

[Coda: Andy Bell]
Taking, no taking, taking, taking
No taking, no taking, take no other lover
Taking, no taking, no taking, no taking
Taking, taking, take no other lover
