You Had Me

You had me at first sight.
You hit me real hard in my heart
My resistance was waning 
I tried but was straining to start

The first time I saw you
The end was clearly in sight 
You said you’d go easy 
But you lied as I thought you might

The journey is long
So keep your spirit high
in time you will be strong 
        
I know love will excuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will refuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will not lose it
(Love, love, love)

You got me where you want,
You had me strong in your hold 
I thought I had found true love
But it was empty of heart and cold 

I knew from the start
That things were not as they appeared
My hope was for the best
Yet all I got was what I most feared

The journey is long
So keep your spirits high
in time you will strong 

I know love will excuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will refuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will not lose it
(Love, love, love)

I ignored every sign.
Though they fell on me like rain 
I thought I had found true love
But all I got was endless pain

You told me sweet lies,
I believed every word you said
My eyes were open wide
Yet all I found was unrelenting dread 

The journey is long
So keep your spirits high
in time you will strong (ah-) 

I know love will excuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will refuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will not lose it
(Love, love, love)

The psycho surprise,
And now you know how bad 
A fire lights your eyes 

I know love will excuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will refuse it
(Love, love, love)
I know love will not lose it
(Love, love, love)
