I'm a-runnin' on empty and my good-luck charm
It's like a mojo workin' `gainst this heart of mine
Just a split second for my heart to know 
It wouldn't take long to fall for you

And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows 
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit

By the hammer of love,
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love

I'm defying all the laws of gravity
Floating on air and with sympathy
The doctor says you're runnin' outta luck
Cause you've been struck by the hammer of love

And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows 
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit

By the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love

Right on the head
Like a ton of bricks 
It's like a ringing the bell
Yeah, and you know, you know
That it hurts like hell
And I know it shows 
Taking me down with a single blow

You've been hit by the hammer of love
You've been hit by the hammer of love
the hammer of love, the hammer of love
