I Let Love In lyrics

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

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
