  • I want surprises
    Your sweet nature darling
    Was too hard to swallow
    I 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 who lies with me
    Who doesn't notice all the others

    When you wake up tomorrow
    You'll be all alone
    All 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

    My other loves will tell you
    That I'm nothing but a pleasure seeker
    And 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 made my decision I'm leaving tomorrow

    Your sweet nature darling
    Was too hard to swallow Writer/s: MICHAEL DAVID PERCY, PETER JOZZEPI BURNS, STEPHEN COY, TIM LEVER, TIMOTHY JOHN LEVER

  • Timmy! from UsaWhile true that Dead or Alive had only two Top 15 Billboard Hot 100 singles (You Spin Me Round, and Brand New Lover... numbers 11 and 15 respectively) they had a total of SEVEN Billboard Hot 100 singles overall
  • Mitch from New YorkGreat song. Pete Burns had a great voice. Too bad he messed himself up and died young.
