Wildly, madly, deeply black

You got lost upon the track

I can't see you coming back

Robert, oh, Robert

Where did it all go wrong?

Robert, oh, Robert

Africa takes too long

Jealous rivals bring you down

Vicious rumours over town

Cupid's arrow snipers round

Robert, oh, Robert

Where did it all go wrong?

Robert, oh, Robert

Singing a different song

Took the lead and took the land and made the queen a crime

Said you were the chosen one, the fuhrer of the time

Robert, oh, Robert

Now the curtain falls on you

Must be time for someone new

Hold the flag and join the queue

Robert, oh, Robert

Where did it all go wrong?

Robert, oh, Robert

Singing a different song
