A dee dee dee dee doo doo

I 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 blind 

Faith has survived all the doubts I've summoned 
My heart has stood all the failure and loss 
Helpless I cannot further be driven, ooh, ooh 

I've learned to respect 
The power of love 
I've learned to respect (Oh) 
The power of love 

I've learned to respect (Ooh) 
The power of love 
I've learned to respect (Oh) 
The power of love 

I was always afraid of being the one left hurt 
Running away from the one thing 
for which I've always yearned 
I'm not ashamed to tell you 
many nights I've tossed and I've turned
