In a 1991 interview, Eldritch says about this song
It’s about vindictiveness. It’s about pain, but in a joyful kind of way. It’s about the returning of it, I suppose, it’s about retribution. It’s just about coming to terms with the fact that one is great and everyone else isn’t. It’s about coming t...
You say stay and never leave
You say meant for ever
Oh I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost all alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't
[Chorus]
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
Now I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
But isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other people
That's what they're for
[Chorus]
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
Yeah I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
Oh, you say stay and never leave
You say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost all alone together
Yeah you say
You say you will
I know you won't
[Chorus]
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
Oh I can get along without
Oh I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
No I don't wanna talk it out
Oh I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Oh pain looks great on other men
That's what they're for
[Chorus]
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
Yes I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
