I was a victim of my foolish thinking 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, ooh, ooh
I've learned to respect The power of love I've learned to respect (Oh) The power of love
I've learned to respect (Ooh) The power of love I've learned to respect (Oh) The power of love
I was always afraid of being the one left hurt Running away from the one thing for 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 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) The power of love I've learned to respect (Oh) The power of love (Yes, I did)
I've learned to respect (Oh ooh) The power of love (Woo, woo, woo) I've learned to respect (Oh) The power of love
