Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love

We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling

We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love

What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way
But don't wanna hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end

Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
