Steps (Pop) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw me a life line please and save me.
there's no doubt baby you took me prisoner I confess.
When you crossed my defences and captured my heart.
And now its too late to put up a fight
I thought I was strong but as hard as I try Can't break away
Darling there's no way out nothing can help me now
(My heart , my heart heart heart heart)
(Love's got a hold of my heart)
There's no escape (there's no escape!)
Now I'm like a damsel in distress,
Trapped in this fairy tale for ever (ooh)
And no mistake, it's tragic but I'll have to face the truth I guess,
And live ever more resigned to my fate...
And now its too late to put up a fight
I thought I was strong but as hard as I try Can't break away
Darling there's no way out nothing can help me now
Love's got a hold of my heart!
Hold on my heart! Hold on my heart!
Love's got a hold on my, It's got a hold on my heart.
(Heart heart heart heart heart heart heart heart)
(Heart heart heart heart heart heart heart heart)
And now its too late to put up a fight
I thought I was strong but as hard as I try Can't break away
Darling there's no way out nothing can help me now
Love's got a hold of my heart!
And now its too late to put up a fight
I thought I was strong but as hard as I try Can't break away
Darling there's no way out nothing can help me now
Love's got a hold of my heart!
And now its too late to put up a fight
I thought I was strong but as hard as I try Can't break away
Darling there's no way out nothing can help me now
Love's got a hold of my heart!
The lyrics of "Love's Got A Hold On My Heart" by Steps, a popular British pop group, explore the theme of being captive to love. The song's opening lines, "I'm calling out won't somebody out there hear my S.O.S?" express the singer's sense of desperation for help from anyone who can hear, while the subsequent line, "Throw me a lifeline please and save me," underscores the direness of the situation.
The second verse highlights the singer's resigned acceptance of the fact that there's no escape from this love, which is beyond her control. She expresses it through the line, "I'm like a damsel in distress, trapped in this fairy tale forever," suggesting her inability to break away from the spell of love. The chorus repeats the theme of being helpless to the hold of love on the singer's heart, suggesting that it's too late to put up a fight, and "nothing can help me now."
The use of the phrase "Love's got a hold on my heart" as a refrain throughout the song creates a sing-along quality that became characteristic of 90s pop music. Overall, the lyrics combine a sense of desperation with a message of acceptance of a situation that's out of the singer's control, leading to an emotional and relatable discussion of the topic of love.
