"We Take Mystery (To Bed)" is a song written and recorded by English musician Gary Numan, released as the second single from his fourth solo studio album, I, Assassin (1982). It peaked at No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart (the highest of three Top 20 hits from the album and it remains Numan's last Top 10 hit to date).^[2]

The song was written about an ex-girlfriend of Numan's at the time called Debbie. According to his biography she was at a club with her sister and it was inevitable that he would fancy one of them. Either, would then charm him into getting romantically involved before selling their story about him to the press.
