The Power of Love
Frankie Goes to Hollywood · Welcome To The Pleasure Dome
Keep the vampires from your door.
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah.
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal.
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you.
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me.
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal.
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure.
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal.
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove.
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door.
