"Let's Go to Bed" is a song by English rock band the Cure, released as a stand-alone single by Fiction Records in November 1982. In the aftermath of the dark Pornography, Robert Smith returned from a month-long detox in the Lake District to write the song, the antithesis to what the Cure currently represented. It was later included on the album Japanese Whispers, which compiles the band's three singles from 1982 to 1983 and their five B-sides.

The single was only a minor success in the UK, peaking at No. 44,[2] but became a Top 20 hit in Australia in 1983, reaching No. 15 in Australia (for two weeks)[3] and No. 17 in New Zealand.[4]
