After releasing three consecutively more gloomy albums, each supported by stressful tours and an ever-increasing use of drugs, The Cure had self-destructed. Primary songwriter Robert Smith left London for his childhood home to recover.
He emerged with the intention of alienating what was left of hi...
[Refrain]
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
[Verse 1]
Let me take your hands, I'm shaking like milk
Turning, turning blue all over the windows and the floors
Fires outside in the sky look as perfect as cats
The two of us together again, it's just the same, a stupid game
[Chorus]
But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it if you won't say it first
[Refrain]
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
[Verse 2]
You think you're tired now, but wait until three

And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't play it if you won't play it first
[Refrain]
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

You wonder if it's real because it couldn't be rain
Through the right doorway and into the white room
It used to be the dust that would lay here when I came here alone
[Chorus]
But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't play it if you won't play it first
[Refrain]
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
[Outro]
Let's go to bed
Let's go to bed
Let's go to bed
Let’s Go to Bed was written by Robert Smith & Lol Tolhurst.
Let’s Go to Bed was produced by Chris Parry.
The Cure released Let’s Go to Bed on Mon Nov 15 1982.
A month after “Let’s Go To Bed” was released, Robert Smith told Flexipop Magazine:
I don’t think it’s a Cure song. I wanted it released under a different name like we did with ‘Cult Hero’ a couple of years ago. It’s not that Cure songs are a formula but they do share a central core. This single has...
