The Cure - Love Song Background Information

The song "Lovesong" by The Cure from the album Disintegration (1989), sometimes listed as "Love Song", is a modern ballad written by Robert Smith and originally released by The Cure on their Disintegration album. Robert Smith originally wrote this song as a gift to his longtime girlfriend, Mary, shortly before their marriage.

Title

The title of this song is widely disputed, as it varies between "Lovesong" and "Love Song" on many official Cure releases. The artwork for the album Disintegration uses both, "Love Song" on the tracklisting and "Lovesong" on the lyrics sheet. When released as a single in 1989 the artwork displayed the title as "Lovesong", and subsequent releases of Paris and Galore both also use "Lovesong" exclusively, whilst 2001's Greatest Hits compilation uses "Lovesong" on the tracklisting and "Love Song" within the liner notes. 2004's Join the Dots also uses "Lovesong" within the booklet presentation.

Original release

Upon release as a single, the song received worldwide success, and first peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Robert Smith originally wrote the song for his wife, Mary, as a wedding present. They are still married.

The Cure - Love Song - Correct Lyrics

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

(...Fly me to the moon...)

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
