I'm calling out  won't somebody out there hear my S.O.S? 
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  
Love's got a hold of my heart! 

(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!
