Stephanie Mills - I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love

Mmm...hmm...

A dee dee dee dee doo doo...mmm...

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, mmm...ooh...ooh...
