Nevertheless - Barry Manilow

I knew the time had to come

When I’d be held under your thumb

I’m like a pawn in your hand

Moved and compelled, at your command

Whether it’s for bad or for good

I would never change it if I could
Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’m weak, maybe I’m strong

But nevertheless I’m in love with you

Maybe I’ll win, maybe I’ll lose

And maybe I’m in for cryin’ the blues

But nevertheless I’m in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I’m taking

Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I’ll live a life of regret, and maybe I’ll give much more than I get

But nevertheless, I’m in love with you
In spite of all I could do

I went ahead falling for you

So if I laugh or I cry

I made my bed, that’s where I’ll lie

For what happens there’s no excuse

I put my own head in the noose
