Lyrics

The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling
That's the power of love

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

Trivia

• THE POWER OF LOVE was originally written for the 1985 blockbuster movie, Back to the Future. The song plays in all three installments of the series.
• The Power of Love was later included on the Japanese and European versions of Huey Lewis and the News' fourth album, Fore!, as well as their first compilation album in the UK, The Heart of Rock & Roll - The Best of Huey Lewis and The News. It didn't appear on a U.S. album, however, until their 1996 compilation album (the first released in the U.S.) - Time Flies... The Best Of.
• THE POWER OF LOVE has never been on a CS release of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania.
• THE POWER OF LOVE has unused Guitar and Drum charts in GUITARFREAKS 5thMIX & drummania 4thMIX, suggesting that it was supposed to debut one game earlier. They are also longer than their final counterparts, meaning that a different cut of the song was meant to be used.
  • While the notes are placed on its Guitar charts, they are not properly arranged, effectively making them placeholders.
