[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
To the soul's desires, the body listens
What the flesh requires, keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks the mind will follow
When the body speaks, all else is hollow

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm just an angel
Driving blindly through this world
I'm just a slave here
At the mercy of a girl

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
Oh, I need your tenderness
Oh, I need your touch
Oh, I dream of one caress
Oh, I pray too much

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
To the soul's desires, the body listens
What the flesh requires, keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks the mind will follow
When the body speaks, all else is hollow
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
You keep me waiting
For the promise that is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop wasting your time

[Refrain: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Oh, I need your tenderness
Oh, I need your touch
Oh, I dream of one caress
Oh, I pray too much
