 |:  .  . :|
 I'm getting weary  looking in my baby's eyes
 When she's near me  she's so hard to recognize.
 But I finally  realize  there's no room  for regret,
True love, true love, true love tends  to forget.
 Hold me, baby be near,
 You told me that you'd be sincere.
 Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette,
 True love, true love, true love tends to forget.
   *)
 I was lyin' down in the reeds without any oxygen
 I saw  you in the wilderness among  the men.
 Saw you drift  into infinity and come back  again
All  you got to do is wait and I'll tell  you when.
(or rather: /- -)

 You're a tearjerker, baby, but I'm under your spell,
 You're a hard worker, baby, and I know you well.
 But this weekend in hell is making me sweat,
 True love, true love, true love tends to forget,
 True love, true love, true love tends to forget.
 I was lyin' down in the reeds without any oxygen
 I saw you in the wilderness among the men.
 Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
 All you got to do is wait and I'll tell you when.
 You belong to me, baby, without any doubt,
 Don't forsake me, baby, don't sell me out.
 Don't keep me knockin' about from Mexico to Tibet,
 True love, true love, true love tends to forget.

You're a hard worker, baby, and I know you well.
But this weekend in hell is making me sweat,
True love, true love, true love tends to forget,
True love, true love, true love tends to forget.

I was lyin' down in the reeds without any oxygen
I saw you in the wilderness among the men.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
All you got to do is wait and I'll tell you when.

You belong to me, baby, without any doubt,
Don't forsake me, baby, don't sell me out.
Don't keep me knockin' about from Mexico to Tibet,
True love, true love, true love tends to forget.
