I Let Love In lyrics

[Verse 1]
Despair and Deception
Love’s ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door
And I did let them in
Darling, you’re the punishment
For all of my former sins

I let love in
I let love in

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Build-Up]
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don’t leave me here all alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone

O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don’t leave me here all alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone

I let love in
I let love in

[Verse 4]
So if you’re sitting all alone
And hear a knocking at your 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
