Goes to Hollywood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

I, feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down
I'll be around with my undying
Death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful

Sparkling love, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' in, rushin' inside of me, yeah

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal





I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Overall Meaning

The Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood is a romantic ballad that speaks about the different facets of love. The first two lines of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as it illustrates the singer's desire to protect the one he loves from any kind of danger that might come knocking. He promises to keep the "hooded claw" and "vampires" away from her door. However, as the song progresses, we learn that this protection is not just physical, but emotional as well. The singer's love for his partner is so intense that it feels like fire and dreams are like angels that keep bad thoughts at bay.


Love is also portrayed as a powerful energy in the song. It has the ability to banish darkness and create light. It is a force from above that cleanses the soul and purges any negativity, leaving only the burning desire for love. The singer implores his lover to embrace love and make it their ultimate goal.
