[Verse 1]
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 sins
[Chorus]
I let love in
I let love in
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
[Bridge]
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
[Chorus]
I let love in
I let love in
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
I let love in
I let love in
Yeah, I let love in
I let him in
I let love in, yeah
I let love in
I let him in
I let love in
