Nevertheless I'm In Love With You

Nevertheless I'm In Love With You

music by Harry Ruby (top)

lyric by Bert Kalmar

I knew the time had to come when I'd be held under your thumb.

I'm like a pawn in your hand, moved and compelled at your command.

Whether it's for bad or for good, I would never change it if I could...

Maybe I'm right, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm weak, and maybe I'm strong,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose, and maybe I'm in for crying the blues,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you...

Somehow I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking.

Fine at the start then left with a heart that is breaking.

Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I'll get,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

In spite of all I could do, I went ahead falling for you,

So if I laugh or I cry, I made my bed, that's where I'll lie.

For what happens there's no excuse, I put my own head in the noose...

Maybe I'm right, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm weak, and maybe I'm strong,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose, and maybe I'm in for crying the blues,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

Somehow I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking.

Fine at the start then left with a heart that is breaking.

Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I'll get,

But nevertheless, I'm in love with you...
