Intro
A D A -- 3x's
Verse
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with g-o-ld
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
Chorus
He was blinded by love
Verse
The Philistines paid
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
Chorus
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
Break
Now it's no use in crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
Verse
The poor Prince of Wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
Chorus
Don't be blinded by love
Don't be blinded by love
Instrumental

Chorus
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
Outro
A D A -- until fade out
