Solemn confessions Sweetened expressions Are the way to love with you Nothing less is worthy of you (Gingerly and true, as vital as the Moon and the stars, to me are you) Nimbus may shade you How much would I give to Show you love the way that you should That's the way to love with you (Gingerly and true, as vital as the Moon and the stars, to me are you) I can't bear to see you cry Odella, Odella, wipe him away from your eyes (tonight) Hang on to art, to me, to life Odella, Odella, nights are long, but they die (untie the early ties) Spurious affection That haunts your reflections Are not easy to bury, it's true But there's love that is saved just for you (Gingerly and true, as vital as the Moon and the stars, to me are you) Bloodline endearments Are thick to consume when He is gone and away from you That's no way of loving you (Dressed in sumptuous shoes, abstaining from the truth, he casts a spell on you) Chorus 2 You may be staggered but you're wise Odella, Odella, don't be so kind (to him) (lalalala) The sway someday will be no more Odella, Odella, and free we'll chant on our way home (new days are to come) (lalalala)
