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

Mmmm, hmmm.
Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Ah, dee, uh, dee, duh, uhhhhh, mmmmm.
I was a victim of my foolish thinking.
Carelessly I risked my love and my life.
There's no self-pity.
I admit I obliged for the power by love,
I pretended to be blind.
Fate has survived all the doubts I summoned.
My heart has stood all the failure and loss.
Helpless, I cannot further be driven.
(Mmmmmmm, ooooh, ooooh, oooooh.)
I've learned to respect the power of love.
I've learned to respect (Oh, ohhh.) the power of love.
I've learned to respect, oh, the power of love.
I've learned to respect, oh, oh, the power of love.
I was always afraid of being the one left hurt
(Ooooooh.) Running away from the one thing
From which I've always yearned.
I'm not ashamed to tell you.
Many nights, I've tossed and I've turned.
I've learned to respect the power of love.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
I've learned to respect, oh, the power of love. (Yes I did.)

I need you. Oooooh.
I want you beside me. (Beside me.)
I trust you.
Oooh. I believe, I believe in you.
I adore you.
I love you so.
Don't you know I've learned, I've learned.
