[Verse 1]
I'd love to forget every time that you kissed me
I'd love to forget that you're gone
I'd gladly hold back each tear that I'm crying
But love has a mind of its own

[Chorus]
Love is a ruler, the greatest of kings
Love sits up high on a throne
Forgetting you, darling, is not my decision
For love has a mind of its own

[Verse 2]
I don't want to carry this worrisome heartache
I don't want to cry all night long
I wish I could run from the day that I met you
But love has a mind of its own

[Chorus]
Love is a ruler, the greatest of kings
Love sits up high on a throne
Forgetting you, darling, is not my decision
For love has a mind of its own
Love has a mind of its own
