I Let Love In

Despair and deception

Love's ugly little twins

Came a-knocking on my door

I let 'em in

Darling, you're the punishment

For all my former sins

I let love in

I let love in

The door it opened just a crack

But my love was shrewd and bold

My life flashed before my eyes

It was a horror to behold

Life sitting sweeping confetti

From the floor of a concrete hole

I let love in

I let love in

Let love in

I let love in

Well, I've been bound and gagged

And I've been terrorized

I've been castrated

And I've been lobotomized

But never has my tormentor

Come in such a cunning disguise

I let love in

I let love in

I let love in

I let love in

Oh Lord, tell me what I've done

Please don't leave me here alone

Where are my friends?

My friends are gone

Oh Lord, tell me what I've done

Please don't leave me here alone

Where are my friends?

My friends are gone

Let me in

Let love in

So if you're sitting there all alone

And hear a knocking at your door

And the air's full of promises

But it ain't you anymore

If I were to be love's lover

Then the lover the love has scored

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
