The Power Of Love Lyrics
The power of love is a curious thing
Make-a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden
And it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden
It can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Hmm...
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
Make-a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden
And it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden
It can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

The Back to the Future trilogy are definitely my favourite movies. This song always reminds me of BTTF.. I think this song is playing when Marty is skateboarding to school because he's late? Haha.
Anyway, This song is awesome. My dad used to play it a lot when I was a kid. It's such a happy song. It always puts me in a good mood.
Great 80's song, Great Soundtrack song to a great film, and a great staple of the Huey Lewis catalogue!
the line is "Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream"
This song pwns
Nothing more to say
God I love this song!! Haha and all of the Back to the Futures of course! "Where we are going we don't need roads!!"
Well love certainly is a powerful thing Back to the Future is just as powerful.
I love this song
ps. fav movie to!!
"I'm afraid you're just too darn loud." <-- I love his line in BttF. I'm looking forward to the new album coming in November 2010.
I'm all Philled out. The 80's were truly a time where music was cheesy and cheesy was right. The decade and artists didn't take themselves too seriously. It was a time were liberalism started to fade and the new age that began was just weird, pointless but fun. People started to come into their own and that's where the anything does type thing began. Huey gots us pumped and live with this powerful, powering tune. Power of love is one of the best groove tunes there is and the meaning is irrelevant. Just a good song to jam, too.
"to", I mean.
"to", I mean.
The song is pretty self-explanatory. It's about how impactful love can be and it talks about the advantages and disadvantages of love, how falling in love is more than a feeling (That's what the song "More Than a Feeling" by "Boston" is about.), how love can change someone's life like it can change someone from being a very bad person to a really good person, how you don't need to be rich or popular to impress a girl, and how it wouldn't cost you anything to fall in love! This is has got to Huey Lewis' signature song!
