Lyrics for I 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 of my former sins I let love in, I let love in The 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 hole I let love in, I let love in I let love in, 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, I let love in I let love in, I let love in Oh Lord, tell me what I done? Please, don't leave me here alone Where are my friends? My friends are gone Oh Lord, tell me what I done Please, don't leave me here alone Where are my friends? My friends are gone I let love in, I let love in So 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 scorned I let love in, I let love in Yeah, I let love in, I let it in I let love in, babe, I let love in I let love in, I let love in
