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) Ooh 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) Ooh Slave to love Slave to love (nanananana) Ooh (nanananana) Slave to love (And I can't escape) (I'm a slave to love) Can you help me? Oh, 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 nanananana) Ooh (nanananana) Slave to love (I can't escape) (I'm a slave to love) (Slave to love nanananana) Ooh (nanananana) Slave to love (I can't escape) (I'm a slave to love) (Nanananana) (Nanananana) Slave to love (I can't escape) (I'm a slave to love)

Lançada como primeiro single do álbum Boys and Girls em 28 de abril de 1985, a música ficou 10 semanas nas paradas do Reino Unido e atingiu o nono lugar mais alto.
A faixa foi incluída na trilha sonora do filme Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986), que estrela Mickey Rourke e Kim Basinger, onde a música inteira soa em uma das cenas.
Além de Nine 1/2 Weeks, a canção também aparece no filme Bitter Moon.
A música combina um toque latino e uma melodia melancólica sobre um ritmo de samba arrastado, criando uma aura atemporal que evita os artifícios típicos dos hits de rádio do meio dos anos 80.
A voz única de Bryan Ferry na faixa traz reminiscências de cantores da era do jazz e tenores do pós-guerra, contrastando com o tema sombrio de luta interna e paixão por uma mulher que ele teme estar perdendo.
A letra toca em imagens intensas como "o céu estando em chamas" e "um mar de fogo", refletindo a angústia do narrador que, apesar das mudanças no mundo de sua amada, promete permanecer o mesmo.
