You're fool's gold, we all know
So I'll cry, and try
(Why did you have to mess around?)

So spare me, my lady
'Cause I've come to hide
(Why did you have to . . .)

I, against all odds
I can't stop loving you, no
But you say I, against all odds
'Cause I can't stop loving you, no

My sparrow, the arrow
Of our time, say it again
(Why did you have to mess around?)

There's dead rope, with no hope
My farewell to those who say
(Why did you have to . . .)

I, against all odds
I can't stop loving you, no
But you say I, against all odds
'Cause I can't stop loving you, no, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Why did you have to mess around?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Why did you have to . . .)

I, against all odds
I can't stop loving you, no
But you say I, against all odds
'Cause I can't stop loving you, no

I, against all odds
(Hold on to me)
