Help finding a song (obvious 80's synth)

I can't make out what is apparently the title of the song - it is garbled, but is sounds like "MOYAMOR," and the only lyrics I can make out are these:

Moyamor,
Broke My Heart Now I'm Waiting For You
Moyamor,
What's A Poor Boy Supposed To Do?

I love this song, but I have no frigging clue where to start. Google is of no help with lyrics I think I got right.

"Oh L'amour" is Erasure's signature song.

I always thought it was "Pompadour."

Yeah, well I thought their signature song was Chains of Love, since it was their biggest hit.

Just saw Erasure perform this in Hollywood on Saturday. Andy and Vince sound just as great as they did nearly 20 years ago.

That's the song that I think of when I think of them (although "Always" is my favorite song of theirs that I've heard - which ain't much).

I just discovered Erasure through their recent "Nightbird" CD. Love that album!

I was watching my "Scrubs" DVD set last night and there's one episode where Erasure's "A Little Respect" plays and gets stuck in everyone's head. Great song. I'm surprised that I've never delved deeper into their catalog (I have the CD singles for "Always" and "Blue Savannah"; got "Chains of Love" on a comp).

I put a request in today at the library for their greatest hits (they only had the second one, not Pop!). Looking forward to getting it.

It is not 'garbled' - the line is sung in French! Sheesh!
