I knew the time had to come When I'd be held under your thumb I'm like a pawn in your hand Moved and compelled, at your command Whether it's for bad or for good I would never change it if I could Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong But nevertheless I'm in love with you Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose And maybe I'm in for crying the blues But nevertheless I'm in love with you Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get But nevertheless, I'm in love with you In spite of all I could do I went ahead falling for you So if I laugh or I cry I made my bed, that's where I'll lie For what happens there's no excuse I put my own head in the noose
