Dont You Want Me

Dont You Want Me was created by the band The Human League, and is part of the bands third album, called Dare, released in 1981. The lyrics reflect a dramatic dialogue or dispute between a man and a woman who was working as a waitress while he helped her become a star. Supposedly, the song was inspired by stories from the music and film worlds, where powerful people launch and then discard young, talented individuals. The track became a huge hit, ... reaching the top of the charts in various parts of the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom. See more [+]
