BLINDED BY LOVE
ROLLING STONES
INTRO: -- 3x's
VERSE:
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with g-o-ld
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:
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
BREAK:
Now it's no use in crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
VERSE:
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
INSTRUMENTAL: play A D A -- like first two lines of VERSE
CHORUS:
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
OUTRO: A D A -- until fade out
