I Let Love In Lyrics - Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 love in 

I let love in, baby I let love in 

I let love in, I let love in
