 Tell her I'll be waiting...  in the usual place,
 With the tired and weary,  and there's no  escape,
 To need a woman...  you've got to know...
 ...how the strong get weak,  and the rich  get poor---!
  Slave to love,
 Oh, oh - oh---!  Slave to love!  |  / / /  / |
 You're running with me,  don't touch the ground,
 We're the restless hearted,  not the chained  and bound,
 The sky is burning,  a sea of flame,
 Though your world is changing,  I will be  the same----!
  Slave to love,
 Oh, oh - oh---!  Slave  to love!  |  / / /  / |
 Slave to love----,  oh - oh, oh---!  Slave  to love----,
 No, I can't escape,  I'm a slave  to love!

 Can you help  me?  Oo, oo - oo!  Can you help  me?  Oo, oo - oo!
 Can you help  me?  Oo, oo - oo!  Can you help  me?  Oo, oo - oo!
 The storm is breaking,  or so it seems,
 We're too young to reason,  too grown up  to dream,
 Now spring is turning...  your face to mine,
 I can hear your laughter,  I can see  your smile----!
  Slave to love,
 Oh, oh - oh---!  Slave  to love!  No, I can't escape,
I'm a slave to love,
G
Slave to love---------! Slave to love, no, I can't escape,

I'm a slave to love------!
