  • 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, slave to love

    You're running with me
    But 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, slave to love
    Slave to love (na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love)

    (Oh)
    (Can you help me?)
    (Oh)
    (Can you help me?)

    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 (na-na-na-na, oh, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love)
    Slave to love (na-na-na-na, oh, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love)
    (Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love)
    (Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love)
    (Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
    Slave to love (and I can't escape, I'm a slave to love) Writer/s: Bryan Ferry
