About Love Chaser

"Love Chaser" is the 1986 single released by the Swedish hard rock band Europe. It was taken from the album The Final Countdown, and was released only in Japan in the soundtrack album of the Japanese movie Pride One. The track on the B-side of the single was "Carrie". Next year the single was reissued in Japan and was entitled "Carrie" with "Carrie" on the A-side. The reissue had the same catalogue number (VIPX-1849) as the first release. The song was written by vocalist Joey Tempest in 1985, and was first played on a tour in Sweden the same year, before it was recorded and included on the Final Countdown album in 1986. Japanese pro wrestler Yoshiaki Yatsu used the song as his entrance theme in All Japan Pro Wrestling.

Someone's at your door tonight
Someone wants your love
Is it real or just imagination
You decide to wait inside 'til the break of dawn
In dreams you see yourself seeking affection.

He'll know just who you are
He'll know just where you've been
He'll know just what to do.

Love chaser - If you look deep in his eyes
Then you're in for a big surprise
He can take your breath away
There's nothing you can do or say.

You can feel that someone's at your back
You can hear his pounding heart
But something tells you not to be afraid
Cause even in the darkest night
Someone's at your side
But when morning comes it all starts to fade away.
