Despair and deception
Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door
I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment
For all of my former sinsI let love in, I let love inThe 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 holeI let love in, I let love in
I let love in, I let love inWell, I've been bound and gagged
And I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated
And I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come
In such a cunning disguiseI let love in, I let love in
I let love in, I let love inOh Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are goneOh Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are goneI let love in, I let love inSo if you're sitting all alone
And hear a knocking at you door
And the air is full of promises
Well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be love's lover
Than the lover that love has scornedI let love in, I let love in
Yeah, I let love in, I let love in
I let love in, baby I let love in
I let love in, I let love in
