↓ LYRICS ↓
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without your love, no baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your command
So baby please, so don't you leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
Come satisfy me, come satisfy me
Don't you leave me this way
No, no
No, no
No, baby don't you go
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know by now?
I'm losing control...

I'm 68 and frankly, I don't give a funk if he's gay or not. To me Jimmy is, and has always been, just a formidable artist and singer. What a voice! What a professional! Cheers to all from South Africa.
No importa si es o no Gay, solo importa disfrutar la música de los artistas, hubo mucha música de los 80's eran de gay.
@@valenterodriguez1770 Yes! And I loved it! It made/makes no odds to me, I just loved the music. x
why oh why do people even care about what others do in the bedroom? I will NEVER understand the prurient curiosity other than the ones that wonder must have an extremely boring or non existent "mating habits". I just remember this song with amazing clarity and happiness!
Pet Shop Boys are great too. I'm heterosexual and to me somebody's sexuality plays no part in their ability to do their job well
This song came out a couple of months after I met my husband in 1986. We were together for34 yrs until I lost him in 2020 to pancreatic cancer at 58 yrs old. This song takes me back there. I loved you then Gareth, I love you now, I always will. He didn't want to leave me this way. Miss you Gar, miss you love ❤️❤️
This message breaks my heart.
Songs are like little bookmarks in your life story..some take you to a certain point in our lives.
❤
A wee song bring on some memories..the communards dont leave me this way..
My thoughts are with you x
Even after all these years, still one of the best musical duets ever
Cure done many collaborations, most never got the recognition they deserved. x
Who is still here in 2024?!? (I am! And love this song!)
czcams.com/video/ITEhXQjaRcg/video.html in 2019 still sing
Me lol.
here im, listening while studying
Of course
Me
I met Richard Coles a few weeks back (the guy playing the piano and 1 half of the Communards) amazing guy and so interesting. Even though I was only young in the 80's I thanked him for helping shape the 1980s and for this song! 😊
Dancing all night long without a worry in the world! I was in my 20s and had an amazing time all during the 80s. We didn't realize how lucky we were back then. Only decades later did I truly understand how unique and special that time was in my life. Wonderful memories!
You never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. Never a truer word spoken 👍
Yep not like the crappy stuff we pock up with these days am i getting old no it's crap
THE 80'S WERE THE BEST OF TIMES ! THOSE TIMES WILL NEVER COME AGAIN !
The 90's were not to bad.
Now it is awful, social media and too much mobile phones where you can do everything screw it all.
Exactly dancing the music now is lazy,:but then people are lazier now.there was so much energetic music to lt your hair down
Best cover ever! A dead man would tap his toes!
Omg lmao that's so true but really funny he he
The 80s are something else
nothing like it.
It's in fact a cover of a song of the 70s.
@@wipe3100Who's the original artist?
@@Englishsea24 Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.
Still cracking in 2024, what a tune
I love the energy between the two singers. They're having the time of their lives, and it's a beautiful duet. This song gives me a real buzz!
La pasión que ponen al cantar y bailar lo llena a uno de vida y alegría, es una canción que lo motiva a uno a seguir adelante y no rendirse ante nada. ❤
I think pretty much ENROLMENT on this track are having the time of their lives! So much positivity that even Thatcher couldn't bring them down!
Yes great energy between them 😅just shows the fun you can have when you connect with someone even if you're not together 😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a lovely song Sarah Jane Morris was very attractive and a great singer in the video.
How anyone could disown such a fantastically talented human being is seriously their loss. He’s the worlds jimmy now and we will fight by his side.
my father played this album endlessly on road trips in Texas... after he passed away, I had to get my hands on the Communards albums, and I still live Jimmy, Cheers from the USA!!
Live long to remember him (greek wish)
I was an American student in the UK when this song came out and immediately fell in love with it.
One of the most underrated dance tunes of the 80's.
Not by me, always been in my top 3, still makes me dance without fail, wherever I am, even if it’s just my feet and while I’m sat doing other stuff.
Except it's not from the 80s it's from the 70s and a very bad cover of the original
It wasn't underrated at the time - was a smash hit and No. 1 for weeks
All 80s music is amazing. This song is pure nostalgia. Incredible ❤
Well said!!
All?? There was a lot of cack around then too. Maybe you weren't there
Not all.
C’era anche della roba inascoltabile dai, ma comunque sempre meglio della merda odierna
my mum died in 91' she was 18 this was her favourite song . rip vikkie
♥
She has great taste! 😁😉👍🏻❤️
She’s probably my generation. Activists and love for all
This guy's voice was so unique and underrated in the pop world. This song is gets you going no matter what mood you are in!
Jimmy Somerville is still singing and still has a powerful voice!
"Jimmy Somerville" and "underrated" in the same sentence?
As we say in Italy, "seriously you're doing that"?
Reminds me of Klaus Nomi, to some degree.
Very few singers can pull off falsetto..jimmy is a star
found the idiotic "underrated" comment . there's one on every youtube video
Clearly fantastic - all of this band incl 😘blondie behind drums, trumpets, sax, thrombone and of course Sarah and Jimmy 🤟
The man on Piano is classically trained pianist Richard Coles he's Ordained Priest but retired as Anglo Catholic Church doesn't want Gay Priests Shocking yet they let in Priests plastered in piercings and Tattoos and even Chronic drinkers yet you can't be in that way to be worker of God and his Blessed Mother so very sad, things don't change Father Coles should do wot Holy Family ask him to do no questions asked regardless to wot his sexual orientation is just wish people were more accepting yet on other hand children as young as 4 years old are being brain washed they are not gender they are born as this nonsense needs to stop.
Gays or Queens as my Nan called them are most loving caring nicest people out there well ones I new even went out there way if need be my Nan loved Boy George and Erasure night before she died she played full blast in middle of night Erasure said I can't go to Heaven without Queenie serenading me referring to Andrew Bell hours later she was dead so she knew her time was up. Sorry changed subject Love old music brings back loads Happy memories unlike rubbish music of today who can't sing for life of them
What I would give to go back to the 1980s for a wk 😢😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ps They were all class singer then now I am 67yrs young in my heart ❤️ god bless you all that gave us the best music 🎶 EVER 🙏🏻☘️☘️☘️
but if you wanted back to the 1980's you could not be gay in public and be yourself.
Me ,I'm here in April 2024 listening to this amazing song!❤
80's will always be the best decade of music. You can never get over it.
Edit: 70's was best for Rock music.
Word!
Unless you happen to remember the 60s or 70s
In deed !
Saving all the money for Vinyl - no streaming - no smartphones. Sharing all the good music with friends by making MusicCassettes^^
Show de bola!!!
Unadulterated joy! ♥
2023 & still as fresh as the day they recoded it.
Jimmy is one phenomenal singer.
Bloody hated this and the band, with exception of the woman on the saxophone. Quite fancied her. Glad if you liked it tho!
❤❤❤❤
He's got a range of notes, bringing glass to break
Fantastic song. It was a huge single and deserves its place in people's memories. Sarah Jane's vocal and harmonies are perfect against Jimmy's high alto voice. An absolute banger.
My ex girlfriend once told me to listen to this song when I was missing her a couple years ago. I never listened to it. I wish I had sooner. Thanks for sending it me
Boohoo 😂
Aha yeah 😂
One of my favourite songs of all time. Always lifts me up!! Well done Jimmy!
Who's still listening in June 2024 anyone with me baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah !
i am❤
Did you know that was filmed in Ukraine the people are real the piano we got out of a bombed out building we built that stage in half a day at that time there was a ban on dancing so police came and raided it everyone ran for it 😁
@@Kevin-uu7ud really
“Jimmy Somerville and Sarah Jane Morris is one the best pop duets ever”
So true!
@@cmkseven7 really? nooooooooooooooooo
Yah baby she is also smookin hot
Along with Boy George & Helen Terry 👍
@@themayorofdipshittery3646 OMG yaaaaaas!
But also the original commenter is totally right too as well, they are FABULOUS!
Jimmy Somerville is a great vocalist and a brilliant entertainer. He inspired me in my 20s to lose weight with this song. Love him xx
WAS HE WITH THE BRONSKI BEAT. HOPE I GOT THE NAME RIGHT
How much pounds did you lose with wanking to that song?
@@arturodelagarza3213yes he was with Bronski Beat. You sing a lot of phenomenal songs with them. My favorite it ain't necessarily so
so he was the Richard Simmons of the music world, I take it? lol
This remake of this song is one of the best remakes I have ever heard. I wish it hadn't taken me decades to find it , but am truly grateful I did. It's right there with Kim Wilde's 'You keep me hanging on'. Thank you London Records for this post.
I love the Communards.
Reminds me me of my mum dancing at family parties. Rip mum.love you forever xx
The girl singer (Sarah Jane Morris) also has an incredible voice and they harmonise beautifully. Fabulous performance! Glad to see I'm not the only oldie who still enjoys this amazing music and the memories it brings back!
They weren't happy when They were told they had to mime on Top Of The Pops - as most bands and singers did - so the male and female vocalists sang each others vocals. They got a bit of a telling off from their record company. Oh dear! Just one query I have. Surely the music banning order at the start of the video should apply to Justin Bieber??!!?? Sorry, 'Bieliebers', or whatever you call yourselves. (I'm not sorry really!)
LPKvideoDesigns isn’t she Allison Moyet?
I was wondering who that singer was. Now if I can just find out who the cute drummer is!
@@bradleymcfadin3854 NO.
I Can Help.
No matter how my day is going, i always feel so high when i hear this track ❤
I'm not even a teensy-weensy bit gay, but I love this song ❤
I actually can't keep sitting down and want to DANCE like I did but due to my illness I can't anymore so I sit and sing and use my arms. LOVE THIS and all the memories!!!
Am now wheekchair bound, but my arms swing and swing :D AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I wanna go back to the 80's and stay awhile!
Me too!!
So do I.... life seemed easier
Bravissima.... Anch'io 😍
Come to my place, I haven’t left, nothing but 80s music, films and yes even the clothes.
VERY HAPPY 😃
@@skullvader4173 I'll be right there.
Love this song he has a brilliant voice
61years young , still dancing like a 16 year old to this song , with a cold bottle of larger in my hand , 😆😆😆, no matter what the works throws at us , we will always have music and beer , stay safe in your bubble everyone, and enjoy life as much as you can 🤞
@Linda Hammerton - cheers from another 61 year old who still dances around when this comes on the radio along with True Faith and Blue Monday. Those were the days😊
keep that attitude.....when I listen to all these old songs......im 18 again...
To me Don't leave me this way will never get old and it still sounds great today no matter what they say about covid 19 we can't let covid get us down
nah sorry linda m8 im not old enough to drink
❤️🇪🇸
I'm 61 now but I remember when this was a dancefloor filler, when a song gives you goosebumps, you know it's meant for greatness
👍!
Am nearly 50 and was a teen when this was a floor filler. God how it takes me back though. Good times!
Me too.❤️👍
51 here, same...it was wild to dance to this song.
Those were the days, really miss the 80s....
Super classic music 80 👍👍
Nothing is more wonderful than seeing how much this song is enjoyed by those attending a learning disability disco. Honestly it's beautiful.
my uncle told me that he used to dance with a girl to this music, when he was young, it was their favorite song, and today he suddenly remembered the name, we listened to it together and my uncle cried because he got all those happy memories from back then. he was so happy to hear this song again after so many years
perfect. love him xx
Sweet
Is your uncle single lol
@@cowoverthemoo haha yess he is single, but he is 52 or something
@@joellemarkus4782 ten years older than me, I would love dance with him 💃🕺 he sounds lovely. Give him a kiss on his head from me.
Dancing in my kitchen with Samsung at 75 years old, stay young everybody 😍
Monica Try me to jijiji
join the crowd ... this music is timeless
Meine Küche ist groß genug, ich tanze mit, 🤣😍🙆♀️
ALRIGHT MONICA!!!!!! I'm dancing too. I'm 62, a little bit younger, but, i'm still dancing.
Go Monica!!!
So much going on in this song; vocals to various instruments. Work of art
One of my favourite covers. Driving home at 1am, singing in the car.
It was a cover? I never realized that.
THE HORN SECTION TRULY BRINGS THIS SONG TO LIFE ! 🎷🎺
Still fabulous after all these years! Now a pensioner but it takes me right back to the sweaty disco floor.
80s British Rock really does ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Que bonitas cansion me encantan muchas gracias guapa
It's a rebellion song..I love this. ✌✌Set me free^
one of the greatest covers in the history of covers (the other being Always on my mind by Pet Shop Boys), such a thrilling reworking
What about "It must be love" by Madness?
Suspicious Minds by Fine Young Cannibals
It really is thrilling, I agree 👍 💯
Also Dear Prudence by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Anyone listening feb 2020? This song came out I was 21. His sound is like no other, it’s full of the earth, the sea and the sky and still takes my eyes heart soar
LISTENING IT TO IT NOW FEB 2020.....STILL FRESH!!!
🖐
💃💃💃
you gotta listen to this, best music of all time, music to me died around late 90s
@@notthesameman je suis d'accord👌, j'adore la musique des années 80.la seule qui me fait danser💃💃💃💃💃
Remember seeing Sarah Jane Morris busking with a band in Covent Garden before The Communards were formed (I think) . Just heard this amazing voice singing. Sarah Jane and Jimmy Somerville, what a combination
Always preferred this version. Has so much get up and go.
The chemistry between both singers is electric.
The Brilliant Jimmy Sommerville!!! and of course a brilliant cover of this classic!!
Brilliant
One of the greatest covers of all time. I agree.
it is 09.15 in the morning, and I am bopping away to this tune. It has set me up for the day.
no matter how bad day you had,,this song pumps anybode up...its incredible....those singers voices are amazing,,,, search that song for a long time....didnt know the title.....amazing song...singing along loud every time i hear it..
J'adore cette chanson préférée
I’m nearly seventy I had blue hair when I used to dance to this at Glasgow art school
Bless u sweetie xxx classic
YASSS FOUND A SCOTTISH GUY 🏴
@@Patrickwd lol🌹
Go girl! ;-)
@@Stefan-dd5wo lol 🌹
I used to think that the man had the deep voice and the woman had the upper register. What a beautiful surprise 🥰
I always thought who was singing this song was a woman. I mean used to hear lots of songs on radio, and I never really cared to know who were the singers, how they looks like and all. After youtube I am having many, many suprises.
Jimmy is female, Sarah male
This will always be a masterpiece.
I had been searching for this song for ages now but today was the day when I said to myself enough is enough this will be the day that I find it.
And here I am now!
One of the best cover EVER!
Thanks Jimmy!💗💗💗 I m a 80s teen and thank God I was there.
Still a tune in 2020 such a classic will never get old 👌 who agrees 👌👌👌
I Michael agrees that this song will never grow old plus Jimmy knew how to sing
Que música linda
@@mariajosesouza5271 Maria José Sousa... Velhos tempos...
There were many songs in 2020 and I've forgotten what they were
Agree 200%....
Ohhh I miss
the '80...
A good song never gets old......
My mum is almost 91 and just loves Jimmy Somerville.
Dry
Your mum knows where it’s at.
Pride?
But does she know he is gay?.............................................
What a great mum !!!
Can't remember what I had for dinner last night but can remember every word of this song. One of my favourites of way back then 🙃💟💫❣
It's a cover of a 1975 song by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.
The drummer and the other musicians get overlooked..amazing cover version
June Miles-Kingston! She has been incredible since forever. Her vocals and drumming on the Fun Boy Three's version of "Our Lips are Sealed" are marvelous.
June Miles-Kingston kicks it on drums! Loved her since her days with the Mo-dettes!
So many great memories of the time this song came out 🤣🇬🇧
The 1980s..what a time to be a teenager...we were so lucky ..no internet or phones just the price of the Saturday night disco and baggy clothes
Che grande verità.. quei tempi resteranno i più belli della mia vita
And good night's out
No social media . Just out playing with yu pals . Perfect days
Bring back the 80s make life great again and no pc bullshit
too bad for AIDS...

I love the drummer so much! I'm newly obsessed with Communards and I'm gutted they didn't exist for very long. This song is pure joy!
I saw her first! LOL Back in the 80s when it first aired!
Try Bronski Beat❤
They kicked her for six Two jealous guys
The biggest selling UK single of 1986... Can't think why... NOT! I've dug this track since when it first came out at the age of 11... Sightly wet summer IIRC but this track always lifts me right up. The video is so cool as well...
It's March 2021 and I'm still listening this classic
16/03/2021 🇫🇷👍🎶
Me to great song
Me too 03/2021 🇵🇹

Xxxxxxxx
Bravo!
One of my all time favorite '80's songs, and all it takes is just a few seconds of the music, and tears begin to flow... for the memories of "coming out", going to bars, and hanging out at malls with friends! Yes, the '80's were the best time of my life, can't let them go.
As long as I can listen to
The Communards, I'm happy with my past. 🤗

I love this song I really enjoyed it I never heard it by this group I am going to play this again and again I also love Thelma Houston when she sings it love and God blessing to everyone in the world
@@Hellwyck it dussent matter!!!
I don't care what letter of the alphabet you are, this song is a banger!
The chemistry and plain fun they're having is top notch
Wow still one of my favorites....still dance to this ....and I'm 66...its a good work out ...Love you Jimmy thank you 😊
It's April of 2021. I came out listening to this song. Thank you, Jimmy, for making my life more whole.
I felt the same 30 years ago.
Ahah bless you I am one of 5 brothers and I applaud you my lovely god bless you fantastic hope you’re in a great place now why do people have to justify there lives its beyond comprehension what I’m trying to say nosey bastards tell them to do one ☝️
Even though I "danced" and absolutely love the Thelma Houston version.......this gets me every time ....the instruments and vocals are just over the top....❤😅❤
have you heard the extended version, with more of Coles on the keys?
Classic song ....the drummer is too unique and hot
My god, I miss the 80s!! And The 70's version of this is AMAZING as well. THELMA ❤❤
The music of my youth. A fabulous, original shining sound. Thank you for getting us on the dance floor and keeping us there for hours and hours over many, many years.

Made popular when released by Thelma Houston in 1976! 🎶💜🎶
This song needs to be played as loud as possible. Still have it on Vinyl from back in the day.
What a classic dance track! ❤
This song will always give me happy memories of my parents being adorable and goofy at the same time, having a dance ❤
I love the way he dances...my wife, kids and myself says he is just so happy and he enjoys what he does... you don't see that much these days!!! Love this version of this song!!

Me & me and my cousins dance around to Jimmys songs! were not as good but god do we have a laff!!
My first love danced all ways too that . 28 yrs ago. So happy times. Love it xxxxx

Sa bouge j'adore ❤❤
I love Sarah Jane Morris on the backing singer she has a wonderful, beautiful smile
The New Romantic era has never been duplicated or beaten.
I'm a 50 year old diehard Metal fan since I was 14, and this is hands down the best song ever. Always makes me happy. 🤘
Metalheads are meant to be open minded, don't apologise for liking a soul track (Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, 1975)
Don't leave me this way! Thank you for the 1980's memories!
No one like Jimmy. He soars! (“Small Town Boy” can make me cry!) And I just learned that drummer June Miles-Kingston was in the Mo-Dettes, another fave band.
My teen age!!!! What a song!!!! What era of music!!!!
How cool was Sarah Jane Morris in this!
The coolest!
Good morning 💗 I haven't heard this song from a long time ago. And Today I wake up with this song, words and melody from the refren were singing in my head. And when I read the lyrics they turned out to be exactly for my current situation. I miss my boyfriend. Yesterday he left for another country, looking for a better job. I wish him success 🙏 Oour subconscious is a miraculous thing
Sometimes, covers eclipse the original art. This is one such example. LOVE.
How can you not like this in 2019 or even forever... great stuff!!
This is music
Not some of the absolute rubbish they pump out now
I am 60 in a few weeks and this stuff still gets my feet moving
shane fitzsimons yeah but if we stick to the old good music and don’t support the new good music, it’s no wonder we live in a world where cheap pop music is popular!
that woman, sarah: the type of woman *that voice and confidence* reminds me of the women of the 80's
