Nevertheless
Love's Gambit: Embracing Destiny in Bing Crosby's Nevertheless
Lyrics
I knew the time had to come
I anticipated a moment would arrive
When I'd be held under your thumb
When I'd be under your control
I'm like a pawn in your hand
I feel like a powerless pawn in your control
Moved and compelled, at your command
Moved and compelled, following your orders
Whether it's for bad or for good
Regardless of whether it leads to negative or positive outcomes
I would never change it if I could
I wouldn't alter it even if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Uncertain about my correctness or mistakes
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
Uncertain if I'm feeble or strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I'm deeply in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
Possibly I'll succeed, possibly I'll fail
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
And maybe I'll face sorrow and distress
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I remain in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Despite knowing the risks I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Starting well but ending up with a broken heart
Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
Possibly living a life filled with remorse
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
Possibly giving more than receiving
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
Nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do
Despite all efforts to the contrary
I went ahead falling for you
I proceeded to fall in love with you
So if I laugh or I cry
Whether I laugh or cry, I accept the consequences
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
I've made my choices and will face the outcomes
For what happens there's no excuse
No justification for what unfolds
I put my own head in the noose
I willingly face the consequences of my actions
