About Goodnight Lovers

"Goodnight Lovers" is Depeche Mode's thirty-ninth UK single, released on 11 February 2002. It is the fourth and final single for the album Exciter. The single did not qualify for the UK Singles Chart because it contained three songs in addition to the single itself, one more than UK singles rules allow. It did however qualify for the Budget Albums Chart and went straight to Number One before falling rapidly, the first Depeche Mode single to reach Number One in an official UK chart. The B-sides are remixes of "When the Body Speaks", "The Dead of Night", and "Goodnight Lovers". The single was not released in the US.

Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me
That cares
 
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me
 
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
 
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to underline
Your beauty
 
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried
So easily
 
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
 
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
 
You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day
 
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
 
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
