But I love you, and that makes it tough
So darling please consider me.
And can't you see that I'm not free
You locked my heart and you hid the key
Oh darling please consider me
I wish that I knew
I paid the price which wasn't so nice
For loving and losing you
My love for you has grown to make
Me pray the lord my soul you'll take
Oh darling please consider me
My love for you has grown to make
Me pray the lord my soul you'll take
Oh darling please consider me
Oh darling please consider me

Line by Line Meaning
You don't love me, it's true enough
You do not have any love for me, that is a valid statement
But I love you, and that makes it tough
However, I love you, and it makes things difficult
So darling please consider me.
Hence, my love, please ponder over my request
And can't you see that I'm not free
Do you not perceive that I am in bondage?
You locked my heart and you hid the key
You locked away my emotions and kept the key secretively
Oh darling please consider me
My love, do give heed to my appeal
What have I done to have such luck
What did I ever do to have such fortune?
I wish that I knew
I really desire to comprehend
I paid the price which wasn't so nice
I went through a tough ordeal for that love
For loving and losing you
As I fell in love with you and then lost you
My love for you has grown to make
My adoration for you has elevated to an extent that
Me pray the lord my soul you'll take
I beseech the Lord to take my soul if you cannot be mine
Oh darling please consider me
Dear love, I plead with you to seriously contemplate my request
My love for you has grown to make
My adoration for you has elevated to such a level that
Me pray the lord my soul you'll take
I beseech the Lord to take my soul if you decide not to love me
Oh darling please consider me
Oh my dear, please take my request into consideration
