despite the pouts and outraged puffs

            i remain loyal to you

in front of charmers and hot stuff

            i remain loyal to you

over the pangs of guilt i feel

            for others drawn to my appeal

our final purpose keeps true still

            i remain loyal to you

on days i feel like giving up

            i remain loyal to you

when doubt is overpowering love

            i remain loyal to you

when past mistakes show their sharp fangs

            i force myself to count my thanks

and on the pages fill these blanks

            that's how i'm loyal to you

when aches and pains tear me in half

            i remain loyal to you

in face of emptiness i laugh

            and remain loyal to you

now even feelings dissipate

            just reason holds me to the date

this last stretch i am asked to wait

            and remain loyal to you

if one day i shall lose, at least

            i'll know i remained loyal

achieved great capabilities

            and overcame all toil

but in the case i win the fight

            as angels tell me is my right

i'll sing from roofs, my shining knight

               for staying loyal to you
