Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
[Verse 2]
Well, it's Saturday night and I'm still free
And I ain't never gonna be
Eaten by the monster of love
[Verse 3]
It's hard to fight it off much more
I hear it drooling by the door
Eaten by the monster of love
[Verse 4]
It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em
It chews them up and spits out creatures with those
Goo-gooy-ey eyes
Sick sickly smiles
It just isn't right
[Verse 5]
And my father said "don't worry, son"
But look at him, he should have run
Eaten by the monster of love
[Verse 6]
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
[Verse 7]
Well, it's worse than war, it's worse than death
There ain't too many left who ain't been
Eaten by the monster of love
[Verse 8]
Buy a dog and that might help
Sometimes, though, a dog gets grabbed and
Eaten by the monster of love
It ain't a pretty sight
To see the way it leaves them
It chews them up and spits out creatures with those
Goo-gooy-ey eyes
Sick sickly smiles
It just isn't right
Eaten by the monster of love
Let it huff, let it puff
[Verse 9]
Eaten by the monster of love
I hate to gripe, but I just ain't the type
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, well
[Verse 10]
I know some really good, good people
Overcome, and piece by piece they were
Eaten by the monster of love
Sometimes it takes a nip at me
But I'm too quick to ever be
[Verse 11]
Eaten by the monster of love
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
[Verse 12]
Eaten by the monster of love
Eaten by the monster of love
Eaten by the monster of love
Eaten by the monster of love
[Verse 13]
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
Don't let it get me
