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
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
(Come satisfy me, come satisfy me
Come satisfy me, come satisfy me
Come satisfy me, come satisfy me)
Don't you leave me this way
Don't leave me this way,
Ooh, baby, I can't exist, I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh 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
Set me free, set me free, oh baby)
Don't you know by now, don't you know by now
Don't you know by now, don't you know by now
I'm losing control, I'm losing control
This bloke has one hell of a voice. Say no more.
So true
It's 2024, I'm 63 and still loving Jimmy and this great tune x
Classic
❤
There are often small rivalries with our English neighbors, but we must recognize their undeniable superiority in the field of contemporary music. I'm 69 years old and Anglo-Saxon music has always helped me live better and it still does.
I’m 71 and just rediscovered the Communards and Jimmy in particular. I love his voice .
He was part of Bronski Beat also
And her tits.
Im 46 and my sister was 49 she died nearly 4 years ago and growing up she loved bronski beat and Jimmy Somerville and listening to it in 2024 reminds me of my childhood some of the best music of the 80s ✌🏼💙.
God bless ya!
God bless you to buddy 🙏🏻
I’m sorry you lost your sister ❤
@milesjolly6173 thank you for the ki d words God bless ✌🏻💙🏴.
What I find BS, is that AGE(65) >>I grew up in San Francisco in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, most of my (BEST FRINDS), were and are GAY!!!!!Truth be told
If you're listening, you're fabulous; whether you admit it or not.
❤
This is one of my every night jams! I love watching them dance together and their drummer is freaking awesome!
This came out in '86 the same time I met my husband Gareth. We had 34yrs together. I lost him to pancreatic cancer in 2020 at 58yrs old. This song takes me back there. Love you Gar. Miss you love. He didn't want to leave me this way.......❤❤
Hugs ❤❤
😢
This is the second time I have seen this comment left.
I think the other was on a Paul Young song.
They are all 80's songs that remind me of my husband Gareth who I met in 1986 . He passed in 2020 .
❤
I am 55, it was the best time of my life! Thank you!! Big kisses from Germany ❤❤❤
Good on ya, friend!
You are da best!
Thank you 🙏!
Los 80s fue una gran época en lo musical y lo mejor que tú , yo , y el que Lee fuimos jóvenes
I AM 69 AND THIS BAND STILL ROCKS
63 & bought the cassette in 1989!
At 72 I still want to dance when I hear this.....

Sarah Jane Morris and Jimmy Sommerville are a terrific duo!
I wondered who she was and was about search. I did think perhaps Imogen Heap.
Am 61 & still think this is a Banger 🎶🎶🎶🐈⬛
This bloke has one hell of a voice.say no more
one of the best songs of the 80s in my generation.
you are the best jimmy,i'm 61 years and i love your music.
Jimmy Somerville working in a community cafe in brighton

54 and feeling nostalgic. I’m dancing in my heart. This song is like a Time Machine.
I'm also 54 & wish I could turn back time & go back to the greatest decade of music.
53 and me too!!!! Really!
I am 62 and still love this
I m 55 and loved that and still adore it. Now it's not music they do. We are lucky to grown in those years...
Brilliant I'm 62 thus takes me back to a a fun time no social media just people having fun 😅
1994 baby and still love and appreciate this song 🔥🔥
eh?? 🤔
Right now I'm 52, but I've just been dancin' around the livin' room like I'm 16 again. Great memories of teenage years, old friends (wishing you all well), and good times.
I. With ta lol
Absolutely 52!!
I’m 61 and still love this music
This is wat u call music ❤ bring back the 80s ❤❤❤
In the 80s My sister was the coolest person I knew. She listened to this song, and introduced me to Rage on ABC tv . We lived in a small town in western Queensland, Australia. This song reminds me of the cherished parts of our otherwise abusive childhood. Set me free!🙂 best song ever! Here we are in 2022
The same with me, Owen. I grew up with the worst excuse of a father who prefered his gambling and drinking over getting off his BIG lardarse backside to go out to work and provide for his wife and 3x son's. He was always a vile man that as i've become older, wiser and knowing that i've given my 4x son's all the love and respect that they deserve so much and my son's make me and my wife so proud, every single day. My father was violent, abusive and evil in mine and my 2x brothers lives as we grew up but once i turned 16 i was outta there as fast as i could. I took the decision to cut my father and mother right out of my life a long time ago and i'm so glad i did. They don't deserve to see how well my son's have become such amazing young men.
So happy to be young in the 80s ❤ the future was bright and music so excellent
YEah, they lied to us, didn't they? How's that "bright" future working out? At least the world hasn't cracked in half, yet, this year. Give us time. We'll foul it up.
It still puts me on high today all these years later
Magical era of time 80 wonder amazing tunes.Great memories
I saw Jimmy Somerville in D.C at Tracks which is not there anymore. I remember because it was a blizzard that night and he still played ❤
im 52! what a brilliant feeling this music has on me after all of these years. I can still dance in my place like a complete lunatic !!!
Eu também tenho 50 e adoro a música a dança eles cantores tudo até hoje são excelentes
me too! and i'm 70! 😄
Take me back . Best days of my life . Love from Londonderry . Northern Ireland .
No Internet. No smartphones with camara and video. Just pure concentrated fun. Great memories!
1st year in high school this and the smiths panic
Great memories 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴
No Ingennier social 👎
enjoy whats in your actual field of vision .mobile phones made underground a bit harder but its still there
Asta que al fin la encontré .....happy happy happy happy
Am always glad to receive positive comments from my lovely fans 🤍🖤 it's absolutely my pleasure bringing sweet melody to you. May God bless you awesomely 🙏
I hope you have fun listening to this music 🎧❣️. Have you been to any of my concert?
They don’t make songs like this today the beats the music takes me away to to a happy place of youth , jimmy is best of Britain in 1980s
Can we book the Dr. with his Tardis and go back please?
The original by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes .. 1975 .
Love both version , the original from Thelma Houston and this one! Great memories!
Thank You ❤
One of my Favourite Fabolous ' 80s Songs 😍
Wonderful Years of Music and Our Lives, too ❣
I' m 63 😊:
Good and Love from Italy.
💖
63 now. Best time for music
Ditto!!
Brings back fond memory
Man… super jealous of people that grew up in the 80’s. Definitely the best decade of music.
Damn right!
And still enjoying it
Jimmy boy was having fun, showing who he really is, dancing like a kid, singing like a woman, it was a good time
Brilliant loved and still love the 80’s, wee Jimmy was amazing
36 years ago. Wow. Still love it all these years later.
During the 80's I was a depressed teenager, this was the only song that as soon as it played I was lifted from my dark place. Loved this song 🎵❤

In fact the the eighties was a depressing decennium. I was glad the nineties came!
Another reason why the 80s are the best decade for music. Pure genius from such a pure voice.
1980s thumping gay beats.
@@888ssss Yes, even thumping gay beats were incredible. Why do u think 40 years later and Hollywood is still desperately trying to recreate 80s entertainment
this song is fuckin garbage compared to other 80s music.
The best decade in music was the 1960s which gave the impetus to bands of the 1970s and 1980s.
YES, spot on. The music of today is just a load of shit, thanks to CZcams we can step back in time to 80s great Music.
im 67 now still love jimmy and this song. he was born to sing this song hes fabulous .
The most fantastic voice x
I’m 69!! Brings back everything!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.... Stay safe!!!
Still love Jimmy ❤️🔥
I cannot stop listening. I just found out about this Communders. WOW
I keep telling people the 80's fantastic I feel so happy I was there ❤
Hi Victoria,,are you from Britain?
@@jonathankaranja5857 yes I am how did you know that 😳
@@victoriashellard528 I just guessed,since the Communards themselves are from Britain.
@@jonathankaranja5857 and where are you from
@@victoriashellard528 I am from Kenya 🇰🇪. (Initially I was hesitant to tell you that I am African,coz u are a white lady)
Im 60yrs old and back in the 80s if this song came on we all hit the dancefloor and what a brilliant song this is and jimmy and Sarah's voices are cracking together and anyone who hasnt felt like dancing to this tune must be on another planet cause I know that I did everytime it came on in a pub or nightclub and I have a 40yr old son who now dances to it and he was born in the 80s great memories from back then love it
Hi I’m 57 I loved 🥰 this song back in the day and still love it now what we had back then was better than what our world 🌎 has now what went so so wrong with our world 🌎 all are great artists and their music were just the best

This Tune Reminds Me Of My Brother What A Blinding Track My Brother Died Of H.I.V. SEPTEMBER 12TH 1994. 26 YRS OLD “REST EASY DARREN”. Love You All The World. ❤
One of the best songs ever! What a voice Jimmy Sommerville has.
70,s song. Love Jimmy,s version
Such me
I adore him.. he was and is still amazing !!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰✌️
@@paulringwood8065 Thelma Houston’s was 70’s, this version was 87
@@anethers7545 exactly
The beat, the voice, the whole rythm makes you wanna dance! This is one song that I never get tired of listening to ...so much talent in the 80's! 💖
Could not have said it better1
L âge de comprendre une blague, un bizutage et une notion de bien ?
❤
I think you should read the text can be different in different minds
The version by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes was better, but this is a very close second.
Ah, those WERE the days. Great music.
I'm obsessed with the drummer. She is incredible! I love this song so much!
It should be June Miles-Kingston on drums.
@@prestwickpioneer3474 thank you! I just looked her up (was looking at Google search results when I noticed my Gmail notifications). Really fascinating and varied career.
@@prestwickpioneer3474She is absolutely hot!
The saxophonist, 2nd along, gets my vote....
Only Jimmy Somerville could remake one of the 70s classic dance songs, less than a decade later, and make it an 80s anthem.
Jimmy’s version of this song is the best !!!!
Worked with Jimmys brother John many years ago in Maryhill town hall in Glasgow and I admitted to him I was a massive Communards fan. The week before Christmas I got a Christmas card from Jimmy himself. Made my day......
New lifegoal. Marry that drummer.
WOW have not heard this in forever ❤️

Óriási megtiszteltetés volt.

És ezek a zenék segítettek jobb embernek lenni! Büszke vagyok!
This guy made good music
This is why I loved the 90’s
