Lyrics

Tell her I’ll be wait ing

in the u sual place,

with the tired and wea ry mmm, there’s no es cape.

To need a wom an

you’ve got to know

how the strong get weak ing.

and the rich get poor.

Slave to love,

oh,

slave to love.

Tell You’re run ning with me

but don’t touch the ground,

we’re the rest less heart ed not the chained and bound.

The sky is burn ing

a sea of flame;

though your world is chang ter.

I will be the same.

Slave to love,

oh,

slave to love.

Slave to love.

Slave to love, and I can’t es cape,

I’m a slave to love.

Na na na na,

na na na na.

Slave to love, and I can’t es cape,

I’m a slave to love.

Na na na na,

na na na na.

Slave to love, and I can’t es cape,

I’m a slave to love.
