The queen of the Nile

She laid on her throne

And she was drifting downstream

On a barge that was burnished with gold

Royal purple the sails

So sweetly perfumed

And poor Mark Antony's

Senses were drowned

And his future was doomed



He was blinded by love

He was blinded by love



The Philistines paid

For Samson's blind rage

The secrets that two lovers share

Should never have been betrayed



He was blinded by love

He was blinded by love



Now it's no use crying or weeping

You better lock up your soul for safe keeping

Promise me



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



Don't be blinded by love

Don't be blinded by love



Blinded by love

Blinded by love
