I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
80s

The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood. That's my walk down Memory Lane done though! Great choices!

The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?

Tongue-tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must must be strong

Now you're moving in high society
Don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure

The questions run too deep

Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
