I Let Love In (2011 - Remaster) - 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

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 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 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
