I Let Love In Songtext / Lyric

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
