I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love

Stephanie Mills


Mmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm (mmm, mmm)

A dee dee dee dee doo doo., mmm

I was a victim of my foolish thinking
Carelessly I've risked my love and my life
There's no self-pity, I admit I obliged
Overpowered by love I pretended to be blind

Faith has survived all the doubts I've summoned
My heart has stood all the failure and loss
Helpless I cannot further be driven, mmm
Ooh, ooh

I was always afraid of being the one left hurt
Running away from the one thing
For which I've always yearned
I'm not ashamed to tell you
Many nights I've tossed and I've turned

Hum, hum
Hmm, hmm (hmm, hmm)

A dee dee dee dee doo doo, hmm

Eu fui vítima do meu pensamento tolo
Descuidadamente eu arrisquei meu amor e minha vida
Não há autopiedade, admito que agradeci
Dominado pelo amor, fingi ser cego

A fé sobreviveu a todas as dúvidas que convoquei
Meu coração suportou todo o fracasso e perda
Desamparado, não posso mais ser conduzido, mmm
Ooh, ooh

Eu aprendi a respeitar
O poder do amor
Aprendi a respeitar (ah)
O poder do amor

Aprendi a respeitar (ooh)
O poder do amor
Aprendi a respeitar (ah)
O poder do amor

Eu sempre tive medo de ser o único que ficou ferido
Fugindo da única coisa
Pelo qual sempre ansiava
Não tenho vergonha de te contar
Muitas noites eu joguei e virei

Eu aprendi a respeitar (sim, sim, sim, sim, sim, sim)
O poder do amor
Eu aprendi a respeitar (oh)
O poder do amor (sim, eu fiz)

Aprendi a respeitar (oh, ooh)
O poder do amor (woo, woo, woo)
Eu aprendi a respeitar (oh)
O poder do amor
