Depeche Mode - A Question of Time (Lyrics)

The lyrics to Depeche Mode's 1986 Synthpop hit "A Question Of Time."

For those of you who perfer to read from the description...

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I've got to get to you first,
Before they do,
Its just a question of time,
Before they lay their hands on you,
And make you just like the rest,
I've got to get to you first,
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME,

(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)
Well now you're only fifteen,
And you look good,
I'll take you under my wing,
Somebody should,
They have persuasive ways,
And you'll believe what they say,

(Refrain)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME,
It's running out for you,
It won't be long until you'll do,
Exactly what they want you to,

(Instrumental)

(Verse 3)
I can see them now,
Hanging around,
To mess you up,
To strip you down,
And have their fun,
With my little one,

(Refrain)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME,
It's running out for you,
It won't be long until you'll do,
Exactly what they want you to,
It won't be long until you'll do,
Exactly what they want you to,

(Instrumental)

(Verse 4)
Sometimes I dont blame them,
For wanting you,
You look good,
And they need something to do,
Until I look at you,
And then I condemn them,
I know my kind,
What goes on in our minds,

(Refrain 2)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
(It should be better)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
(It should be better with you)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
(It should be better)
It's just a QUESTION OF TIME
(It should be better with you)

[thefirstcolours]

and I really think this song is a warning for me, since I am 15, to be careful with men and their intentions.

[biospark64]

@thefirstcolours I'm only a year older, and also a boy, and I can assure that while there are some that you'll want to avoid, there are also plenty of good guys. =D Believe me, not all men are after sex or anything, so just choose wisely.

[thefirstcolours]

@biospark64 I know, but that's the problem, choosing wisely. You never fully know someone.

[biospark64]

@thefirstcolours True, it applies to everybody, so to me, that's probably something you can't avoid. Will there be people that turn around completely when you've known them to be totally different? Sadly yes, but it's not something you can predict. My opinion, just get a view of what a guy's intentions are, and how far he would go in a relationship, before you start one with him. If what his intentions make you uncomfortable or anything, don't go for it. Just my 2 cents. =D

lol what a pedo song x/

[biospark64]

@70ME3E Pedo song? Please get out... -_-

[biospark64]

@klopster89 Please tell me you meant to make a dislike joke and aren't complaining that nobody dislikes Depeche Mode... -_-

[frozenorcha]

My favourite from DM. :)

[thefirstcolours]

@70ME3E no, why should I be? you're the one misunderstanding everything,

[70ME3E]

@thefirstcolours you're kidding right?

[thefirstcolours]

@70ME3E there's nothing pedo of this song. Dave Gahan is only saying he fears for a little young girl being deflowered or used, abused by older men, because although she is young, she looks good, attractive. What's pedo about it?

[malkmusjick]

such a real song!! so damn honest.
