A dee dee dee dee doo dooI was a victim of my foolish thinking
Carelessly I've risked my love and my life
There's no self-pity, I admit I obliged
Overpowered by love I pretended to be blindFaith has survived all the doubts I've summoned
My heart has stood all the failure and loss
Helpless I cannot further be driven, ooh, oohI've learned to respect
