(m. jagger/k. richards)

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 antonys
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed

He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love

The philistines paid
For samsons blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed

He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love

Now its 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, dont lose your mind
Dont mortgage your soul to a stranger

Dont be blinded by love
Dont be blinded by love

Blinded by love
Blinded by love
