Real Lyrics
I broke my bones
Playing games with you
Tired by fun
It makes me blue
Oh I, I think I’m into you
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you
Oh I think that if I had been enough for you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
You do it, boy
Well, love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could
I itch all night
I itch for you
You’re just my type
What’s a boy to do?
Oh I, I think I’m into you
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you
Oh I think that if I had been enough for you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
You do it, boy
Well, love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could
Yeah, if I had been enough for you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
I think you should
Oh, love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could
Playing games with you
Tired by fun
It makes me blue
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
Well, love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could
I itch for you
You’re just my type
What’s a boy to do?
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
Well, love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do what you like if you'll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
I think you should
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh, it’s enough to be better
If I could

This was an important song for Years & Years in developing their sound. Olly Alexander told The Sun: "That was a real turning point for this band. I wrote that when I had been dumped by this guy. He was with someone else and then I wrote this song really quickly on the piano."
"Emre (Turkmen, synths) had the beat that he had made on his laptop and we put the two things together and we were just so excited. We loved the harmony we'd found and it made as to rethink. It was what we needed the rest of the album to sound like. It felt like a real light bulb moment."
Olly Alexander told NME how the song was inspired by a "really bad relationship" with a former boyfriend. "When I met him, I was really wasted and I fell off a bin and had to go A&E because I sprained my wrist, so I put in the line, 'Broke my phones playing games with you,'" he said. "And then I got this rash, but it wasn't like a sexual rash - honestly! - I had really bad eczema. That's where the line, 'I Itch all night, I Itch for you' comes from."
