Lyrics to Slave To Love (Live 1988)
Words & Music By Bryan Ferry
Tell her I'll be waiting
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, slave to love
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're 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, slave to love
Slave to love, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
Can you help me?, oh
Can you help me, me, 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, nah nah nah nah oh oh nah nah nah nah, slave to love
Slave to love, nah nah nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
Slave to love, nah nah nah nah oh oh nah nah nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, slave to love
(No I can't escape) I'm a slave to love
