Speak and Spell Released:
1981 When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I
Just Can't Get EnoughAnd I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of
We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
It's getting hotter
It's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough of
[Repeat: x2]
I just can't seem to get enough
And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
You're like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough of
[Repeats]
I just can't get enough

LyricFindJust Can't Get Enough Song Chart Depeche Mode founding member and keyboardist Vince Clarke wrote this song. It was inspired by "To Cut a Long Story Short" by Spandau Ballet.
Early Depeche Mode, under the direction of Clarke, had a more upbeat sound. In our interview with Vince Clarke, he explained: "Martin Gore writes in a different way than I do, so that's obviously the main difference. And they've developed this kind of a rock feel to their music. I'm more a fan of pop music, or I'm more of a fan of writing pop music, that's the most difference, I guess." Clarke had just turned 20 when he wrote this song, which turned out to be the last one he wrote for Depeche Mode. He left the band after the Speak and Spell album was released, later joining Yaz and Erasure. The "Just Can't Get Enough" video is the only one he appears in. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France) In an interview with Q magazine February 2008, vocalist Dave Gahan recalled recording Depeche Mode's debut album Speak and Spell and their early days as a band: "Vince (Clarke) was the leader at that point. By the time we got into the studio, Vince had got bored with it. He didn't like the idea of having to deal with other personalities. He wanted to be in control. That's the only album where the songs had already been performed for a year and a half beforehand, and we went into the studio and recorded them as we would live. I think Daniel (Miller, their record label boss) saw us as a cross between the Ramones and the Beach Boys, in an electronic way - fast and short with really simple riffs. We were courted by major labels and were very suspicious of signing a deal that meant 5 albums. We'd come from that Punk ethic: we just wanted to make a single. Daniel came along and that's all he really had the money to do, so it kind of worked. We wanted to keep in control. We never thought much beyond the next single and playing some gigs. That time was brilliant."
Not everyone appreciated the Speak and Spell album. Rolling Stone magazine called it "PG-rated fluff." This was used in popular ads for The Gap, which featured young people lip-synching to this in front of a white background. They were selling a line of leather. Vince Clarke has been known to sing this with an acoustic guitar at Erasure concert dates. Clarke formed Erasure with Andy Bell a few years after leaving Depeche Mode. (thanks, Kelly - Portland, OR) This became the first Depeche Mode song used in a movie when it was featured in the 1982 film Summer Lovers. It was also used in The Wedding Singer in 1998. This was Depeche Mode's first top 10 single in the UK, and it became a club favorite in the US. Girl group The Saturdays covered this song in 2009 for the Comic Relief charity.
