Everytime You Go Away
Paul Young · From Time To Time-Singles Coll
Hey!, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel yor body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Everytime You Go Away
Paul Young's 1984 single "Everytime You Go Away" stands as a defining track of the New Romantic era, blending synth-pop production with a melancholic vocal delivery that captured the post-punk transition. Released on his debut album, the song became a global phenomenon, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and establishing Young as a leading figure in the genre. Its enduring appeal lies in its atmospheric soundscapes and the emotional resonance of its themes, which resonated deeply with audiences seeking a polished yet introspective pop sound. The recording remains a staple of 1980s music history, frequently covered and referenced in retrospectives of the decade's most influential acts.
