Despair and deception, loves ugly little twins Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in Darling, youre the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but love was shrewed and bold My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in
Well Ive been bound and gagged and Ive been terrorized And Ive been castrated and Ive been lobotomized But never has my tormenter come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in
O lord, tell me what I done Please dont leave me here alone Where are my friends? My friends are gone
O lord, tell me what I done Please dont leave me here alone Where are my friends? My friends are gone
I let love in I let love in
So if youre sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door And the air is full of promises, well buddy, youve been warned Far worse to be loves lover than the lover that love has scorned
I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in
