Nevertheless
Love's Gambit: Barry Manilow's Nevertheless Unveils the Dance of Heart
Lyrics
I knew the time had to come
I anticipated a moment in time
When I'd be held under your thumb
When I would be controlled by your influence
I'm like a pawn in your hand
I feel like a pawn in your control
Moved and compelled, at your command
Moved and compelled to act according to your wishes
Whether it's for bad or for good
Whether the outcome is positive or negative
I would never change it if I could
I wouldn't alter it even if I had the chance
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Possibly I'm correct, perhaps I'm mistaken
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
Maybe I'm feeble, maybe I'm resilient
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'll triumph, maybe I'll fail
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
And perhaps I'll face sorrow and distress
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Despite recognizing the risks I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Starting well, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
Maybe I'll lead a life full of remorse
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
And maybe I'll give more than I receive
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do
Regardless of everything I could have done
I went ahead falling for you
I proceeded to fall in love with you
So if I laugh or I cry
So whether I express joy or sorrow
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
I've created my own situation and will endure the consequences
For what happens there's no excuse
For whatever occurs, there's no justification
I put my own head in the noose
I willingly subjected myself to potential harm
