You may know so many things, be attuned to my mind...  
But do you know the depths of love?  
  
Why stop a feeling that is so kind?  
Why stop a lover's heart?  
  
Why end a love before its time  
When it's barely had time to start?  
  
What river's course would you dare tame  
When all of life survives therewith?  
  
So, why, when love behaves the same  
Would your heart leave and claim the Fifth?  
  
I love, and love, and love again  
And not but one has dared to claim  
  
My heart as deeply as he has,  
Though I and he've not come to pass...  
  
And, what on earth's a girl to do  
When I love others differently than I love you?
