Adam and the Ants - Digital Tenderness Lyrics

why does this feeling of togetherness
always scare me away?
why do the feelings that I have for you
have to become a word ?

don't say you "love" me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no

that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness

here is the start for so many broken people
all with a hard luck story
and a sad sad tale

don't say you love me-oh no
don't ask that from me-oh no no

that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
that alphabet you call love
is just a digital tenderness
tenderness

sometimes
I need to be by myself
I need to be by your side
I need
sometimes
I need the company of art
I ned the company of friends
I need you

and my heart is stronger
than a four-letter-long word

searching the eyes of so many broken
people
whose cowardice proved much too strong
for vice
don't say you "love" me ...
oh no
don't ask that from me
no no no

that alphabet you call "love"
that alphabet you call "love"
