Song Lyrics

Despair and deceptionLove's ugly little twinsCame a-knocking on my doorI let them inDarling, you're the punishmentFor all of my former sins
I let love in, I let love in
The door it opened just a crackBut love was shrewed and boldMy life flashed before my eyesIt was a horror to beholdA life-sentence sweeping confettiFrom the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in, I let love inI let love in, I let love in
Well, I've been bound and gaggedAnd I've been terrorizedAnd I've been castratedAnd I've been lobotomizedBut never has my tormentor comeIn such a cunning disguise
I let love in, I let love inI let love in, I let love in
Oh Lord, tell me what I donePlease don't leave me here aloneWhere are my friends?My friends are gone
Oh Lord, tell me what I donePlease don't leave me here aloneWhere are my friends?My friends are gone
I let love in, I let love in
So if you're sitting all aloneAnd hear a knocking at you doorAnd the air is full of promisesWell buddy, you've been warnedFar worse to be love's loverThan the lover that love has scorned
I let love in, I let love inYeah, I let love in, I let love inI let love in, baby I let love inI let love in, I let love in
