About Only When You Leave

"Only When You Leave" was released as Spandau Ballet's first single from their fourth album Parade (1984). It peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and made the top 10 in several other countries but only reached number 34 in the US, where it was their last song to appear on the Billboard Hot 100. Most critics were impressed with Tony Hadley's vocals and enjoyed the song. The music video used its theme of revenge as a way of paying tribute to the late film director Alfred Hitchcock. .

Only When You Leave Lyrics

[00:23.72] Laying in the afterglow
[00:27.07] I only want to learn what you know
[00:31.82] But now you're leaving
[00:34.44] How many hearts must you break?
[00:37.44] Well, how many calls must I make?
[00:42.23] But now, you're leaving
[00:44.89] In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable
[00:50.59] But love is in your touch
[00:53.79] Ooh, it's killing me so much
[00:58.46] Only when you leave
[01:00.26] I'll need to love you
[01:02.43] And when the action has all gone
[01:05.24] I'm just a little fool enough to need you
[01:10.24] A fool enough too long
[01:12.62] Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
[01:16.87] I'll make sure that you pay
[01:19.38] So give a little passion to a stranger
[01:24.20] And take this soul away
[01:28.74]
[01:30.85]
[01:38.74] I only want to make this things last
[01:42.10] So, how could this have gone so fast
[01:46.97] And now you're leaving
[01:49.56] How many times must I learn
[01:52.67] It's only when you've gone that I burn
[01:57.57] And now you're leavin'
[02:00.03] In the end, all that is left has come unbearable
[02:05.70] It's hard to change your mind
[02:09.13] So, leave it all behind
[02:13.60] Only when you leave
[02:15.32] I'll need to love you
[02:17.53] And when the action has all gone
[02:20.44] I'm just a little fool enough to need you
[02:25.44] A fool enough too long
[02:27.81] Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
[02:31.86] Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
[02:34.48] So give a little passion to a stranger
[02:39.56] And take this soul away
[02:44.59]
[03:15.09] Laying in the afterglow
[03:18.37] I only want to learn what you know, ooh
[03:23.15] But now, you're leaving
[03:25.68] How many hearts must you break?
[03:29.34] How many calls must I make?
[03:33.62] But now, you're leaving
[03:36.32] In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
[03:41.98] But love is in your touch
[03:45.07] Ooh, it's killing me so much
[03:50.14] Only when you leave
[03:51.66] I'll need to love you
[03:53.75] And when the action has all gone
[03:56.64] I'm just a little fool enough to need you
[04:01.60] A fool enough too long
[04:04.06] Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
[04:08.01] Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
[04:10.67] So, give a little passion to a stranger
[04:15.23] And take this soul away
[04:23.35]
[04:29.68] No, no-no, no
[04:32.01] Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
[04:36.04] Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
[04:38.62] So, give a little passion to a stranger
[04:43.72] And take this soul away
[04:48.48]
[04:52.57] I'm just a fool enough to need you
[04:57.86] Fool enough too long
[05:00.06] Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
[05:03.71]
