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 tormenter come in such a cunning disguise 


I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in 


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 


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 
I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in 
I let love in
