[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
He was blinded by love

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
Now it's no use crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
