Lyrics:

Long long time ago my mother told me
As far as she knows lovin' was only
For those who love themselves
And it ain't for no one else
And you've got to hold inside
A certain amount of pride
Long long way from home
Seems I've forgotten
All that I was told
And the heartache is starting
Cause those who love themselves
Aren't enslaved to no one else
And they don't have to compromise
And they don't have to cover their eyes
Seems I'm trapped I can't break free
Without you who would I be
And I've rendered myself powerless
Is my need my cowardice
She's got bruises but she wears them for love
He's got disease but he bears it for love
Don't know what cupid was thinking of
So many of us just slaves for love
Long long chain of fools
And I'm in there somewhere
Cause love ain't got no rules
But somehow I still care
For those who love themselves
Even more than I love myself
And though you bring me pain and sorrow
I'll still be here tomorrow
Seems I'm trapped I can't break free
Without you who would I be
I've rendered myself powerless
Is my need my cowardice
She's got bruises but she'll wear them for love
He's got a new disease but he'll bear it for love
Don't know what cupid was thinking of
So many of us just slaves for love
Fools for love
