"Just Can't Get Enough" became a hit of its own in the Netherlands in early 1985. It wasn't released as a separate single, so it was the 12" single (L12Bong4) that entered the Dutch chart. Officially it wasn't allowed in the singles charts as the 12" had been sold (and priced) as a mini-LP in the weeks before that. But due to its popularity on the radio, "Just Can't Get Enough" was allowed to enter and duly became Depeche Mode's biggest Dutch hit of all time.

Letra
Love, In Itself
All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me
There was a time when all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me
There was a time when all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
All of the absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the uncertainties
That lay in store for us
There was a time when all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
