I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love

I was a victim of my foolish thinkin'

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

I've learned to respect the power of love

I've learned to respect the power of love

I've learned to respect the power of love

I've learned to respect the power of love

I was always afraid of being the one left hurt

Runnin' away from the one thing from which I've always yearned

I'm not ashamed to tell you

Many nights I've tossed and I've turned

I've learned to respect the power of love (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...)

I've learned to respect the power of love (Yes, I did)

I've learned to respect the power of love

I've learned to respect the power of love

I need you, I want you beside me (Beside me now)

I trust you, I believe, I believe in you

I adore you, I love you so

Don't you know, I learned

Learned to respect the power of love (I've learned, oh)
