Blinded By Love Lyrics
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
The Philistines paid
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
Now it's no use crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
The poor Prince of Wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
Don't be blinded by love
Don't be blinded by love
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
He was blinded by love
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
He was blinded by love
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
Don't be blinded by love
Blinded by love
Blinded by love

ancient history
In essence, the song uses stories and characters from history and myth to caution against the perils of being "blinded by love," thereby losing sight of one's responsibilities, sense of self, or even destiny. It serves as a commentary on how love, as potent and beautiful as it is, can also lead to personal and sometimes historical downfalls if not managed wisely.
