[English]

You say you wanna compromise

But talking ain't no good

You say that all you need is time

But talking ain't no good

There's a look in your eye

That your words can't describe

It's so cruel (so cruel)

But the more that you hurt me

The harder I fall into you

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

...

...

You say you wanna work it out

But I don't wanna try

Begging you to let me drown

Or stop the air supply

There's an aching inside me

And I can't decide what to do

'Cause the more that you hurt me

The harder I fall into you

Into you

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I don't wanna talk about it

I don't wanna beg you for your love

...

I just wanna touch your body

Get locked in the prison of your love

...

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I-I-I-I'm, I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

I'm a slave to your love

...

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

...

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
