Situation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can't do without
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Verse 2]
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me
Can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
It scares me
But it won't be long
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can't do without
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Verse 2]
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me
Can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
It scares me
But it won't be long
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Refrain]
Move out, move out, move out
Move out, move out, move out
[Verse 3]
Now he's in control
He is my lover
Nations stand against him
He's your brother
Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
Move out, move out, move out
Move out, move out, move out
[Verse 3]
Now he's in control
He is my lover
Nations stand against him
He's your brother
Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Refrain]
Move out, move out, move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Verse 4]
Now he's in control
He is my lover
Nations stand against him
He's your brother
Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
Move out, move out, move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound

Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow

Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
Move out
Don't mess around

About
Genius Annotation
Instantly recognizable by the melodic synth orchestration, “Situation” by Yazoo is one of the most iconic synthpop songs of the ‘80s. It comes as no surprise that keyboard player and co-writer, Vince Clarke, was a founding member of Depeche Mode and wrote most of the songs on that band’s first album.
