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
