Verse:

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 if I could.

 

Chorus:

Maybe I'm right, and maybe I'm wrong, And maybe I'm weak, and maybe I'm strong:

But Nevertheless, I'm in Love With You.

Maybe I'll win and 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'll get;

But, Nevertheless, I'm in Love With You.
