       The poor Prince of Wales
       He gave up his crown
       All for the trivial pursuit of
       A parvenu second-hand lady

       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
