I Let Love In (2011 Remaster)

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 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, 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
