Lyrics – The Outfield – Your Love

The song “Your Love” by The Outfield is a quintessential 1980s rock song. Released in 1985 on the band’s debut album, Play Deep, the song became an international hit. “Your Love” was composed by guitarist and songwriter John Spinks, who was inspired by the band’s experiences growing up in London.

[Verse 1]

Josie’s on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older

[Chorus]

I just wanna use your love tonight
And I don’t wanna lose your love tonight

[Verse 2]

I ain’t got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I’m in trouble
You know I’d do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover

[Chorus]

I just wanna use your love tonight, oh
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight

[Bridge]

Try to stop my hands from shakin’
‘Cause somethin’ in my mind’s not makin’ sense
It’s been awhile since we were all alone
I can’t hide the way I’m feelin’

[Verse 3]

As you’re leaving, please, would you close the door?
And don’t forget what I told ya:
Just ’cause you’re right, that don’t mean I’m wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon

[Chorus]

I just wanna use your love tonight, yeah
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight, yeah
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight
(Lose your love)
(Lose your love)
