Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings.
Bobby discovered and produced the Pet Shop Boys. The Flirts' 1982 song Passion was cited by Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe as a primary reason for the band's formation.
Helpless
The Flirts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there nothing I can do to try and make you stay?
I can see you in the arms of another girl
You shattered my world.
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be
All I have is memories -
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love and left me helpless - helpless.
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love and left me helpless - helpless.
All alone - we had it too together
Now I'm all alone.
I shared a life with you and now I don't belong.
I'll have to start a new life on my own
But I'm not that strong.
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be
Now all I have to hold on to is memories.
I just cannot imagine there is treachery
All I have is memories.
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
...
Suddenly I'm not half the woman that I used to be
All I have is memories -
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
...
Helpless - you took my love
You took my love
You took my love and left me helpless.
You left me helpless
Oh
You leff me helpless
Oh
You left me helpless
Helpless
Helpless
You took my love
You took my love and left me helpless...

"¡ Ah !"
(Octavilla regia)
Tres poemas al hilo y el cuarto ¡ Ah !
Significa : ¡ Existo y desde ha !
Cada vena, poro y nervio.
¡ Cuanto emociona mi cuerpo !
En mil rutas de mis pasos,
mi norte siempre en tus manos;
pues, no tengo adónde màs ir.
¡ Nadie màs por ser felíz !
