Digital Tenderness

Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants

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"
