Plague of Love lyrics

My father is a doctor

He never told me

About this problem

That I’ve got

I’ve never had it

it feels awful

it must be something that I caught

I can’t breath, I can’t eat

I hallucinate in my sleep

I get a fever whenever you’re near

Oh God it’s suddenly clear

Ooh struck down by the plague of love

Sweet poison running through my blood

And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care.

My mother is nurse

She can’t help me

Though she spent her life

In the service of others

I told her ‘bout my pain

But she was busy

Downstairs serving dinner for my brother

Now I can’t get out of bed

I’ve got this crazy notion in my head

I hear a ghost in my bedroom lurking

Is it me or is the medicine working?

Ooh struck down by the plague of love

Sweet poison running through my blood

And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care

Ooh struck down by the plague of love

Sweet poison running through my blood

And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care.

Maybe nothing can save me

So come a little closer

I've got a secret just for you

Ooh struck down by the plague of love

Sweet poison running through my blood

And I can’t bear not knowing if you even care

Ooh struck down by the plague of love

Struck down by the plague of love

Struck down by the plague of love
