Let Love In

LETRA

Let Love In

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 my former sins
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but love was shrewd 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
Well, 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 disguise
I let love in
O lord, tell me what i done
please don't leave me here on my own
where are my friends?
my friends are gone
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your 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 scorned
I let love in
