[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Man for woman
Love's unchained, ah yeah
Man for woman
It's insane, well

[Guitar solo]
That's right, I gotcha

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Well, I want to greet you
Believe me, I wanna touch too, ah yeah
Oh, yeah Ooow!
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Make love to me, baby
Make love to me, baby

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
