Brand New Lover Lyrics

Your sweet nature, darling
Was too hard to swallow
I've got the solution
I'm leaving tomorrow
And now as I stand
And stare into your eyes
I see safety there--
I want surprises

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover

When you wake up tomorrow
You'll be all alone
Oh the love that we had
I have quickly outgrown
I wanted to stay, but I just couldn't do it
Couldn't stand there and put you through it

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others

Now other loves will tell you that
I'm nothing but a pleasure-seeker
For once I really must agree
I need to leave you by yourself
And go in search of someone else
To satisfy my curiosity

Your sweet nature, darling
Was too hard to swallow
I've made my decision
I'm leaving tomorrow

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover

This is a good song. The [electronic] style, and quality of this music was way ahead of it's time. This band deserves more credit.

Such a great dance track. Love the band. The lead singer was definitely before his time, which makes his music even more interesting. 80's music was the best for dance...just spirited and fun.

I featured this band on my blog today, along with three of its songs. (Sex Drive is my favorite, but it was far from the group's most popular.) S/he (and with the lead singer Paul it's sometimes difficult to tell:) wants fun and surprises, not yawns. S/he wants someone to lie beside her, not lie to her face. And s/he doesn't wish to swallow his "sweet nature," although that line doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the song....unless it means he's "sweet" with other women. FUN 80's band. Paul pre-dated Boy George in style/individuality, but Boy got all...

I know, It's sad they're known as 'one hit wonders'. "It may come to your notice that some of these songs were not 'hits, in the conventional meaning of the word shall we say! But in the chart of my mind all contained herein were MEGA hits!"-Pete Burns

This is a great song, it does seem a bit ahead of it's time. PETE BURNS ROCKS!!! :P

It was ahead of its time and it is a GREAT song. Haven't had a lover in years, but I'm ready. It's nice being single. And it's nice hearing this song again...very motivating
