They say all life will end one day
And friends, yeah, forget and die away
Well, if fate is cruel and dims the light
Our love c’mon, yeah, shine on for all right
But, oh, if you’re lonely and so blue
It’s here inside saying
Man for woman
Love’s unchained, ah yeah
Man for woman
It’s insane, well
That’s right, I gotcha
Times, precious times, I’ve lost what I was looking for
And I can see it’s true, a change had to come
Well, baby, I was lonely, ah yeah, so blue
Looking at you and you’re wanting me
Man for woman
Love’s unchained
C’mon, walk with me, baby
Man for woman
It’s insane, it’s insane
Love’s unchained, baby
Aw yeah, love’s unchained
Well, I want to greet you
Believe me, I wanna touch too, ah yeah
Oh, yeah ow!
Man without woman
It’s a lost, lonely time
For love it can be broken
Yes, and love made unkind
It’s right here
If you’re lonely, c’mon, baby
Yes, and so blue
It’s right here
C’mon, and it’s wanting you
Say yeah
Make love with me, baby
Man for woman
Love’s unchained, ah yeah, c’mon
I said, love still the outlaw
Yeah, c’mon, baby
I said, c’mon
I was lost without a woman
But you can see me
And I’m found
Never in vain
There’s no shame
I cast no blame, c’mon
Love’s unchained
Yes, mama
Make love to me, baby
Make love to me, baby
Breaking Down the Boundaries of Love
Billy Idol’s “Love Unchained” is a passionate anthem that explores the enduring power and raw vulnerability of love. Through evocative lines about loneliness, longing, and the desire for connection, Idol paints a picture of love that defies constraints and transcends time. Phrases like “love’s unchained” and “man for woman, it’s insane” emphasize a relationship that cannot be tamed or easily defined. The song’s repeated calls for intimacy and connection highlight the deep need for companionship, while acknowledging the pain of isolation and the hope found in being truly seen by another.
